Are Video Games a Sport?(#3sstr)
Do you think
of video games as a sport? When I think of a sport I think of basketball,
baseball, soccer, or football. I like to think of it as video games have their
own kind of category of sports, in a way. The definition of sport is “to amuse oneself with some pleasant pastime or recreation”. And if you love video games and it amuses you,
then it may be considered a sport in your mind.
I play video games
every once 
in a while but I would rather be
outside playing basketball with my friends, then sitting on my butt for like 5
hours a day moving my thumbs back and forth. I play video games like call of
duty, skate, basketball, and football games when I have some free time, but
definitely not as a sport or competitively. There are major league gaming
competitions where people compete to win stuff like thousands of dollars. I
feel like the essence of a sport is physical activity, like in basketball,
driving into the paint, drawling fouls. I also think of sports as 
competitive, but in a way video games
can be considered competitive based on who you ask, because MLG is a very
competitive gaming network, there is even money involved, and I am talking like
hundreds of thousands. People get very competitive when it comes to prizes. But
it is definitely based off of who you ask. You could ask me and I would say no,
because you are just sitting there moving 
your thumbs, doing nothing but
looking at a TV or computer screen. Then you could go ask a professional MlG player,
who plays for tons of money and he would say yes, because if you play for a
company competitively in your mind it would be a sport.

So do you think video games could be a sport? I personally don’t
think so. Comment and tell me what you think.
