Hockey. Football. Water Polo. Those are sports. Button mashing, although intensive and occasionally stressful, does not constitute a sport.

Is boxing with Wii Sports considered a sport then?

It depends on the gaming. If the game is run in formal competitions and requires a lot of practice and study to get better at (i.e. a high skill cap), then I have no problems with that particular game being called a sport. e.g. stuff like this

Golf, Baseball, & Poker are often televised on ESPN. By this logic, gamers are in fact, athletes & gaming *IS* a sport!
Baseball involves physical activity and is therefor a sport.

Sitting at a keyboard is a sport? I can't say I agree with you.

Using that logic, shadowboxing in your room is sport too. So no.

Okay, let me break it down for you. Sports, by definition, require physical activity. Sitting at a keyboard requires no physical activity. Ergo, sitting at a keyboard is not a sport.
Besides, I wasn't trying to argue. Just stating an opinion. A correct one, by the way.

So sports has to be competitive AND physical to qualify as "sports". Is that the socially accepted definition in here?
If so, how would you deal with the various entymological phrases that reference "sports" that do not satisfy both criteria, for example "being a good sport" (which only covers the competitive as in fairness part, but does not require any physical component)?

I'll be playing devil's advocate here and continue that logic.
Car sports. Why is it called sports when it's just a bunch of drivers sitting in a car pushed pedals and turning a wheel?

Well, those are figures of speech. When you stub your toe and say God damnit, you don't want God to damn your table do you?

If so, why are we arguing about the term to begin with?
And thus we come full circle to me original comment.

I am going to slap you Neo.
However, there are words with multiple uses and definitions. That doesn't make one definition any less valid than another. Are chicks suddenly not baby chickens just because some guy calls a girl a chick? No. Semantics son.

I tried to come up with a definition of "sport" a while ago, and what I ended up with was "anything people will pay to watch." I've never paid to watch gaming myself, but I'd be surprised if it never happens.
