Default Gaming as an Olympic sport?
As I was scrolling through Kotaku, I saw this funny article. http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/sports/...77536.php#more

And they think kids are fat now, just wait.

Well Olympics get coverage on national television in 200 countries reaching 4 billion people. Not exactly the same.

Yea true that, but not quite what I meant. The thought of gaming as an Olympics sport is quiet silly. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE gaming but, it’s a slap in the face to the 1000's of peeps who give there heart and soul to there respected sport.

That where the World Series of gaming would come in. Of course Gaming does bring in more money than most sport/movie/tv/music. but anyway yea ok...
