why not? they have worse things in the olympics. Such as pin collecting. Obviously not televised as far as I know.

uh no. IF that would happen.

there would be tons of other sports that actually require more physical prowess that would want to be included as well.

Some ppl like to use the Olympic athletes as role models and hero's. i don't think the overweight couch potatoes and foul mouth minors will do the event any justice.shyskillz

Most "professional gamers" are overweight couch potatoes and foul-mouthed minors? Are you sure?

No, the olympics are for athletes. Physical activity is a must.

no, i'm 6 foot 1 and 195 pounds.

but i've seen alot of great gamers...with hugh dents in their couches....and of coarse you got your kids that live on the games because they have few responsibilities.

Nothing about excercise. Plus they can cheat. especially wii not well made for it.

Olympics is all about sports, running, etc.

pro gaming and great gamers are very different, pro gamers game to the point that they hate the game but keep playing anyway so they can earn a living off the tournaments

i admit i don't know or heard much about these so called pro gamers. Itz cool having a game league but itz nowhere near athletic....and thats what the Olympics is about. i wouldn't mind being in a league myself...they just don't make enough money for me. if they did i'll probably be a part of it and go down in the Hall of Fame for Gaming..

they are, they're pro, the pro are the best of the best they play for a living not for fun, it's not like those people who enter a few tournaments a year they enter all they can and train all the rest of the time, if it did appear in the olympics it would just be the pros no one elese would have a chance

lol, wow ppl are really that serious about gaming. i guess i stand corrected....these events look official and i suppose they do need more exposure, i just don't think the Olympics is the place.

Now i want to join a league too. maybe I'll put together a squad ...depends what the prize is worth thou.

i like the female teams more.....i'll like to put their skillz to the test.
