i always disliked tourney***s but this is ridiculous. i don't like sports, but even i can see how asinine it is to think that sitting on your *** all day at a computer playing video games 'training' is anywhere near the level of physical training that real athletes go through.


i'd also like to point out:

athlete (ath·lete [ath-leet])
noun
a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or game requiring physical skill.

Have you seen Korean Starcraft players? If they aren't people trained or gifted in contests involving physical agility and stamina or a participant in a game requiring physical skill, I don't know who is.

playing computer games is not physical skill, no matter how fast you can hit the buttons.

Isnt Chess in the olympics? It may not be physical skill, but I'd say mental and coordination skills are just as impressive. Do you just like to complain about things that don't matter, all the time?
