Would be really a huge "WTF" if it will be on Olympics since Surfing is a sports (Lots of people here in Hawaii loves surfing Including me) but Why it isn't in Olympics? Lol.

[Nine_FOx]

I forgot that your jim's brother. there is no doubt that surfing cant be a Olympic sport because, some country doesn't have ocean or it is too cold to surf. why LOL did get that acknowledgement, even though World of Warcraft came first and been played by vast community around the world. add for that, World of Warcraft can be played offline or online.

Since LOL gets more vieuws then an average rugby match its kinda normal for them to make LoL a sport, but since im in sportschool, i cant agree. For LoL u have to train and bla bla bla to, but its not at the same lvl as sports.

Athletes -->Train more so psychically
Gamers--> Train more so mentally(most of the gamers train 15+ hours 5-6 days a week) its serious stuff  just like any other sport
(could go into further detail..but waste of time)

Also both "sports" train as a team and its a Team "sport"

MORAL OF THE STORY---> none is above the other

Let the stereotypes commence.
