Video games are not sports. The definition of a sport, (copied and pasted from the dictionary) is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. In what part of video games does "physical exertion" come into play?

Video Games are not a sport. You don't do a phisical activity when your gaming.
Wii may have phisical activity but you are playing a sport within the video game. It is not a sport in itself.

Video games are not a sport because you are not getting up and being physically active.

No video games are not a sport because in order for it too be a sport you have to physically be doing something. And when your playing video games your looking at a t.v or some kind of electronic.

Video Games are not a sport. Sports are supposed to be physical activity's not sitting down at a screen pressing buttons on a controller. I know video games are fun but you shouldn't do them everyday after school.

The definition of a sport is an activity involving physical effort and skill in which an individual or team competes against others. The key word here is physical. siting down on a coach eating chips is not physical.

Unless there is a sport were you move your thumbs and yell at your device or TV its not a sport. One sight says if video games are a sport then other things like that can be a sport like sleeping is that a sport? I requires as much activity as video games

A sport is a physical exertion like running or jumping. And is a physical activity that involves two teams that compete against each other to win

The biggest problem I have with that is its classification as a 'sport' at all. A sport is defined as 'an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.' Video games do not require any physical involvement. Other than being good at pressing buttons on a controller, what physical ability do you need to play games? Yes, it takes a lot of skill, which is indicative of mental ability in some cases, to be a great gamer, but that's not physical and is certainly not a sport. If there is still an argument to define cheerleading as a sport, then how are we classifying this at all?

Video games are not a sport. You are not doing any phisical actions except moving your fingers. That isn't even good because that can cause carpal tunnels. Real sports actually benifit you. Video games only hurt you.

i think we do because,kids need to know what its like to be a loser and if you always win your not working for anything.

# data[].attributes.body
yes because  kids are getting trophies just for listening or helping answer questions.

I think that we give out to many trophies. You need to participate too earn them not just hand trophies out. Kids won't be prepared for the real world.

We give out too many trophies. "If children always receive a trophy — regardless of effort or achievement — we’re teaching kids that losing is so terrible that we can never let it happen. This is a destructive message, because how we react to kids’ failure is just as crucial as celebrating their success." (Michael Gonchar, 4). Kids should know that working hard and having fun is the reward of itself, and they shouldn't feel

We

Yes we do because kids that win don't feel as special when everyone gets a trophy. When a kid gets a trophy no matter what they are not as committed to the sport for when they do it out of passion and not the reward they get at the end.

# data[].attributes.body
We do. Kids need to learn that you need to you can't win every time. Kids show up they get a trophy then they think they won and they didn't and I believe there giving the kids the wrong mindset of I don't need to try I will  get a trophy every time. New York Times states that they need to know that it's okay to lose and participation trophies are not helping it. They also say that we need to focus on progress not just showing up.

The definition of a sport is a form of physical activity in which a person or team competes to win. Although video games require activity it and cannot be compared to many of other sports.

Yes we do give out to many participation trophy's . We are not preparing kids for the real world. If life was just as easy as showing up then the economy would be corrupt.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we do because kids need to learn that doing something little like picking up a toy or losing a soccer game does not deserve a prize. Kids think they can do whatever and get whatever. Kids are getting more spoiled every time they get a prize. Participation trophies don't teach kids to work for what they want to succeed in.
