Is race car driving a sport?

it is treated like a sport.

And that’s good enough for you? In that case…

wow, how athletic they look. I bet they are barely breaking a sweat, if at all.

I didn’t know it was possible to miss the point by this much.

excuse me for thinking that playing doom is not a sport.

If nothing else the physical strain on your eyes should be enough to consider.

oh good grief.

To say that video games have the same amount of physical exertion as chess means that you’ve never played video games.

have you have every played blitz chess?

Nope, are you saying it’s a sport?

btw, I have played video games.

Sure you have.

no, I am saying playing playing video games has no more physical exertion than playing blitz chess when your time is running out. I see videos of professionals making moves when time running out, I seen their arms and hands move in a blur.

look how fast these guys move their pieces.

If you don’t want to believe me, I don’t know what to tell you.

If playing video games is a sport, so is ping pong.

Athletes? Sport?

Ok, I guess you weigh a lot and still be an athlete, but the guy in my pic is no sumo wrestler.

Posting that article went well.

Gee golly. I thought she had some great points to consider about how we treat gender in sport.

But instead we have several pages of that’s not a sport because it isn’t!!!

Ok but you completely failed to answer the question.

And the fact that you play video games is irrelevant. Do you drive a car?

Yes, I drive a car. As far as whether race car driving is a sport, I really don’t know.

Why are you sure video games aren’t a sport but race car driving you aren’t sure?

What’s the difference?

It one you are just sitting in chair in front of a computer. It the other you are driving a car trying to control a vehicle going over 100 mph. Somehow one seems more “real” than the other.

Warb, men are physically more capable than women in several aspects, like you mentioned previously. Thats a fact. The thing is, sports judge those exact feats in which men are superior to women. Dahmage asked why is that, because that will inevitably make women “less capable” in sports than men since we’re judging something that men are biologically superior on, so of course women can’t keep up.

I personally think women might be naturally better shooters or better videogame players than men, so that’s why I mentioned videogames.

I hope this clarify some things.
