    Re: Should Pro Gamers be considered Athletes?

    Absolutley not. Athlete implies physical ability. Theres nothing remarkable about gaming let alone gamers. On the other hand, theres something remakable about being the fastest runner in the world, or the best swimmer. The person who can throw a javelin the farthest. Noone could care less about your high score in pinball or that you won final fantasy 7 without using a memory card. Thats about it.
