Nope. I don’t mock “competitive gaming”. I’m pretty clear I’m all for that. You all go crazy. Do what you want. I don’t care. If you can get sponsors and viewers, go ahead.

No, I’m not moving the goalposts. My entire argument has always been that there are games and there are sports, and sports require total body conditioning.

Oh, have you shot rifles? So have I. And after carrying the damn thing around all day, you don’t think the muscles in your arms, shoulders, back, and legs have anything to do with accuracy?

I smell scandal.

Yes, and that’s ridiculous hyperbole.

The key word in your spiel is “manual”.

Necessary?

“Crucifying” is ridiculous hyperbole. It’s absurd metaphorical language.

Golf is neither high-impact like football or hockey, nor aerobic. And, yes, old people play it. But there’s a difference between playing something and playing it well, and that difference is athleticism, and why most serious golfers over 50 often don’t play on anything other than the senior tour.

Crucifying? Jesus H. Christ. If that’s the level of self-pity gamers have, then the should stay to their mother’s basements.

Nor do you need to be excellently conditioned, but a golfer’s muscles do.

To golf 18 is to walk about 5 miles while carrying an awkward 30 pound bag.

Truly, exactly what inspired John Gillespie Magee, Jr.:

You are, indeed, very sad, Eddie Gaedel.

Do you know what absolutely no one on the face of the earth said today? “I stood in line for three hours to get Overwatch at SportStop today.”

Is that eDeportes en espanol?

So...can we all nip this in the bud and call it something other than “Esports”?

I eat many things, including pudding cups, with a knife.

Yeah, it’s pretty.

Jawohl.
