problem there is online/lan counterstrike has more players /sponsers/paid teams /tourneys but can you class that as a sport?
no becuse moving fingers and pressing buttons whilst sat on your fat ass isnt considered a sport in any country... notice the word sitting :rolleyes:

I dont really see how there is an argument, by definition it is a sport..... :confused: how can you argue with the dictionary? :D
Well you could ask the Sports Council that, as they don't class it as a sport. But then again they are a bit like Equity in that way - it's not recognised as a sport unless it's on our register, and it can't get on our register until it's recognised as a sport.

Thats for political reasons though, you cant say its not a sport because it hasnt been recognised as a sport by some bigwig in a suit, by definition it is one, if the definition were "an activity recognised by the sports council register" then youd be right, but its not....

I claim plenty of the benefits, it keeps me fit, i enjoy myslef, its challenging, it gives me an urge to do better... I dont think the esscence of the word "sport" revolves around how much media coverage something has, otherwise youd be calling countdown a sodding sport.
