that would be like saying jenga is a sport because it needs you to move arms and torso, as well as having eye to to hand co-ordination. come on man, in gold you stand, swing the golf bat, ride a freaking car and have somebody else hold your shit. fat 60 years olds play it. its in no way a sport, its insulting to all sports and people who play sports to call it a sport. 

Jenga is a game. Infact Jenga is more a sport than video games are. You are talking about Elite Golfers right there and only them (or maybe stupidly rich people/lazy americans). A random guy who likes golf and plays at his local course does so with his clubs and pulls his clubs along without a caddy and probably walks it all. A pro-gamer does no more movement than I do when playing games. Which is to say none.

my arguement is golf isnt a sport.

my posts in this thread also say that video games arent a sport. not even close. 

Fair enough, remove the last sentence about gaming and my point still stands. You know 'Walking' is an athletic sport right?

The Olympics is going to be great. Golf is in but yet Squash still isn't. What do you think of Equestrian Sports then?
