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?

Soccer... the worlds game!  Do the math and see how many people follow the game.  Put on a shirts, socks, shoes and a ball.  No courts, no sticks, no special equipment just plain passion!  Must build a D-III soccer board!!!

I have to jump on board with soccer. I need to agree that this is the worlds sport


The World Cup will have been played twice since 2000 since the soccer fans of d3 soccer can get any love. I

C'mon Fellas, add soccer!

We won't be adding anything during the basketball playoff season but I would say that soccer is looking like a possibility.

Soccer ... ugg, you're killin' me.  I love your basketaball boards ... that type of discussion would be grand for XC/T&F.

Great sport (soccer), but there is no place on the 'net for the cross country and track folks to chat and post news.

i.e. Oshkosh's top thrower was 5th in the USA this weekend (24th and 25th) in the shot put and weight throw ... no D3 place to share it.  The D1 and D2 people don't want to recognize it.

There is <http://www.d3soccer.net/> and <d3swimming.com>.

<http://www.d3track.com/> has no discussion board.

granted ...

Soccer already has forum at d3soccer.net [a] ... regionally focused board with most posts coming from the mid atlantic region ... the posting would be on a larger national scale.

Look at these boards, the only real places to find D3 information:

<http://www.trackshark.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=adba79489454ae404b23975706c59711>

<http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/mb/thee?forum=1018>

... not much.

The mlive site you mentioned had a thread with a couple dozen posts about 2005 MIAA track and field ... and that forum is clumsy.

Just a few thoughts.

Another board for track is www.raceberryjam.com.

This keeps the performances for the year, but has no message board function.

I originally campaigned for the track and field board, because this is a really open niche.

Track and Field would cover 2 seasons and add 4 sports to the breadth of D3sports.com. ;)

There is no one doing track the way that D3sports.com could! :)

Guys,

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but its selection Sunday here.  Please avert your attention to more timely matters, or else stop sucking up the bandwith for the rest of us.  I had to drive down the street and sit in the parking lot of the Comfot Suites because the dial up at home wouldn't go fast enough.

Track and Cross-Country.  Track is the one sport where both sexes and those of all sorts of builds can all participate together.  The strong football players now sometimes actually appreciate those wimps who turn out to be great long distance runners.  These meets are run at the same time, so the women and men will both be able to comment easily on each others team, whereas in other sports, teams go to different places, prohibiting them from watching each other as much.

Guess what?  Cross-Country doesn't even need the ball.  And other areas around the world are not on this message board, at least not yet.

QuoteGotta be soccer!  There are a whole lot more teams out there playing soccer than an east coast-focused sport like LaX:

Lacrosse:  132 men's, 157 women's
Soccer:  383 men's, 406 women's

Cross-Country: 249 men's, 274 women's
Track: 249 men's, 259 women's
Indoor Track: 221 men's, 229 women's

Total: 719 men's, 762 women's

POINT: The T&F and CC board will be use almost year around while the other ones really just have one season.  Many athletes in those other sports will also be in Track & Field, so it is more inclusive.

yeah, but you gotta take into account that indoor and outdoor track and field are basically the same thing, just in a different environment. and most of the athletes ar all the same across all three, so its not like you are really getting three different sports.
