Just looking at MonsieurEvil's posts makes me think... it's time to make messageboardpostdebating a sport! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> And it's entertaining, hehe.

That's why playing games for fun is better than playing to win.

Yet winning is always fun... heh.

Sport is a physical activity.

If you don't get sweaty and tired, it's not a sport imo.

ie darts = not a sport

snooker = not a sport

bowling = not a sport

they are <i>games</i>

Just an opinion , naturally....

pro gaming = getting close, just in terms of sheer competitiveness, but still, no, not a sport.
