Welcome to the year 2008, where teamwork based games even digital ones are considered sports.

One side of me says hey they get paid to play, they get contracts and have sponsors and it’s even on ESPN it must be a sport.

Ok so it’s not that physical, but it is a team based game, with paid proffesionals and contracts. It is broadcast on ESPN. It does require large amounts of both skill and natural ability.

Not a believer? Go to http://www.mlgpro.com check out the ESPN top ten for it, then get on Xbox Live and try the MLG playlist for Halo 3.

hmm.. all you need is some cheerleaders with "Penny Arcade" tank tops on the sidelines and we're set to call this a sport. Stan, if the gaming geeks get paid enough to win, they might just stand a chance to get laid =P Remember...
