| Topic | Are pro gamers "athletes" in your eyes? |

Billiards is a grey area imo. Bowling is no doubt a sport - anyone who thinks otherwise is likely salty that whatever it is (in this case, esports) they're doing isn't viewed as a sport. Darts - eh, I don't think it's a sport, but I don't care near enough about darts to argue one way or the other. Snooker....do people still play snooker? The whole reason competitive gaming was even considered a sport to begin with was to attempt to legitimize it and have money thrown behind it - they didn't even need to do that shit. ECompetition resides in its own corner of entertainment and the label isn't what makes it popular, but only folks that are hardcore will ever think of it as a fucking sport - it's not. As for where I draw the line? I don't. I just call a spade a spade and this one is a spade. I say this as someone who likes to watch it on occasion, but as an avid gamer my whole life the label of it being a sport is hilarious. --- R.I.P.
