Do you consider UT as a sport?

[Lex_Mortis]

Researcher found out that mentally playing games gets you to the same level as a real sportsman.
So mentally it's the same...

I think it's a sport, how about you?

 

[Lex_Mortis]

come on peeps, post some comment and thoughts!

lol until they start playing Unreal Tournament at the olympics..i wont class it as a sport

 

[jobue]

nah...i don't class it as a sport, not even a sports game , i don't class golf as a sport either so

 

[Lex_Mortis]

Someone also voted for yes, could that person back me up?

 

[Silence]

sorry lex wasnt me i voted no
i dont think games are a sport

 

[JACKEL]

i voted yes..u can earn money with it it gives me a nice shot of adrenaline from some matches its fun and ur in a team so its kinda the same as a teamsport

 

[jobue]

sports should be physically demanding...and UT isn't that imo, only mentaly

 

[Psychotic]

Sports should be mental too, and there are soooo many brainless sports
Like boxing
And you dont know how much I've sweated in some UT matches

[jobue]

[Pea¢eMaker]

Yes I think UT is like a sport because you train to be at your best you learn things that make you better and you try your hardest some times to reach a goal so I voted yes

 

[Silence]

i always get nervous before and during matches
but tahts cuz im leader
and its kinda my fault if we lose

 

[Lex_Mortis]

Woohoo! The 'yes' ppl are winning!

 

[Vitz¥^]

Yes pwn No imo

UT is un questionably a sport....

All that ppl have said already is tru, it gives the heart a good work out, which means that ur heart will stay healthy for longer, and is therefore like exercse, but that aint an excuse to quit going out, ok

for instance how many really FAT UT players do u know
