As soon as they took real skill to play, they might not be.
…then again, guess what? Sports are considerred entertainment to the casual player.
nfl linemen actually have great hand-eye coordination in addition to having great agility and speed. not to mention most of them are college graduates. but whatever, play into the stereotype.
on a side note, i can’t believe this thread is still alive. does anyone take people seriously who say professional gamers are athletes?
“Professional” gamers are nowhere near athletes, end of story.
Well thanks for laying down the law for us. We were just burning for someone to dictate our opinions to us. :huh:
Anytime… :thumb: :td:
Proffesional gamers are atheletes in a physical sense but in some ways they are, such as they have to train, practice etc.
physical?? the only way possible gamers can be anywhere near atheletes would be a gamer using computer sims based on a real sport/activity… where all the real world attributes are implemented (formula1 // the one the pros use for course training) otherwise like i said before gamers cannot be said to be atheletes for the pure fact that game coders determine how the in game physics and rules interact with the player.
Define etc., because you can apply training and practice to almost anything…
