Are e-sports a sport?

Like chess and football, one practices, competes, gets coaching, follow rules, there is a clear winner...

To be considered a sport, do you need to sweat during the activity?  If so, why is golf a sport?

If e-sports are not a sport, what is a close comparison?

Too bad women's volleyball didn't pick up any interest. I guess I have been watching too much of MTV's rerun showing of the National Championship, so I'm stll caught in that hype.

AP story:  Thiel College will cut six varsity sports at the end of this academic year, citing reasons ranging from lack of participation and competitiveness to rising travel costs.

Men's and women's teams in golf, cross country and tennis are being cut.

I'm surprised golf would be cut.  Tennis is usually always the first to go though.

What is the estimated time frame in adding the next DIII sport board?

I'm hoping it's track&field! ;)

Yet they can justify the travel costs of their 3-13-2 soccer team??  Go figure (Literally)

I hope soon.  If we are blessed with a XC/T&F board it is time to begin multiple threads as the indoor season begins to heat-up and the outdoor season is right around the corner.  Plus XC recruiting news is beginning to trickle in.

Black Magic,

I'm with you on Volleyball.

That's where my vote has gone as well.  It's just a fantastic sport to watch, especially now with the international rules in effect and the scoring moving faster.

Volleyball is fun to watch, but not sure if there's much to talk about?

Haven't read all the posts - but I'm surprised there's no mention of ice hockey in the poll.

hell of a lot more to talk about in volleyball than track.

talk about equipment in track? are you kidding me? equipment was one of the top 5 things you could think to discuss about? seriously, equipment. if i want to discuss equipment i'll go talk with a company that makes and sells the equipment.

This is the second poll. First one contained ice hockey but it didn't get much support.

I like that you left Field Hockey in though, which hasn't gotten a single vote in either poll.  I'd be against Ice hockey though, if only because we don't need to give Middlebury any further chances to be smug.
