included many types not previously seen on American television, such as hurling, rodeo, curling, jai-alai, firefighter's competitions, wrist wrestling, powerlifting, surfing, logger sports, demolition derby, slow pitch softball, barrel jumping, and badminton. NASCAR Grand National/Winston Cup racing was a Wide World of Sports staple until the late 1980s,
Not sure what your point is ESPN has been showing competition on their channels as well for a long time, i.e., poker, etc...doesn't have anything to do with being a sport or not. So many people butt hurt over their favorite "whatever" not being called a real sport.
Ask Webster, I didn't write the book. My guess is the amount of physical exertion is much less playing a PC game than anything else. Basically if you're not hooked up to a treadmill while playing world of warcraft. It's not a sport to them.
Don`t know how a simple business rule is considered being "butthurt", but do enlighten us oh great one
Definitions change all the time. I think it's hilarious the amount of nerd rage every time someone says E-sports.
Like it or not it's going nowhere and they will change the definition before the term is dropped.

it can only be a sport if steroids can give the user an advantage
It's all semantics. I don't see why some get upset if it isn't called a sport. I guess they fear they won't get the respect (or money) of proper athletes if they aren't seen as taking part in a "sport".

For providing "comprehensive sports coverage" i guess this one slid by? haha
Imagining the Mario Golf HUD on top of TV overlays is the only way to watch pro Golf . Piranha Plants and Chain Chomps would certainly make things more entertaining .Comparing sports and esports makes me think activities like Darts, Golf & Ski Jumping should be considered Quick Time Events.
Probably something like, "Keep those things near the fireplace where they belong."
