[Michael Chopra]

Is e-sports now considered a sport?

 

[introvert]

Soccer

 

[Bewal Express]

Rugby union

 

[Swashbuckler]

Since chess is considered a sport in many countries (including India) I will choose it. If people don't classify it as sport I will choose badminton, obsessed with the sport and will be awake at untimely hours to watch any random tournament, also I am a decent badminton player so the bias is there.

 

[WC-Passion]

Basketball!

Very strange to me that it's not on the poll but each to their own I guess.

Used to be F1 and football(soccer) but those have been left behind in my youth. Now it is ice hockey and NFL. However, if a Pakistani team is playing I would sit down and watch be it hockey, football, volleyball etc.

F1 if you see it in real life is insanely epic. Most sports I prefer to watch on screen than in person because of less distractions, but F1 you have to see it for real. Been to a few races in Kuala Lumpur when I lived there.

As for the thread, I've recently gotten interest in boxing, have to keep up with college (American) football here, and badminton.

Chess ain't a sport it's game a good game but it's not a sport

 

[MenInG]

Let's have some more responses

 

[BlackShadow]

Chess ain't a sport it's game a good game but it's not a sport

International Olympic Committee and 100+ countries recognize it as a sport, says Google.

Who cares anyone with a brain knows that's not a sport soon e sports will be considered a sport too, it's competitive yes but it's not a sport same goes for chess. Just because theirs competition doesn't make it a sport

 

[sweep_shot]

Football/soccer.

As a matter of fact, football is my number 1 favorite sport. I love it more than cricket.

Cricket was a great sport in the past. BCCICC/Indians ruined it.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Badminton and Table Tennis...though I don't like watching it but love playing it.

I tried table tennis once. I struggled a lot. LOL.

Badminton is much easier.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tennis .

I follow this sport as well.

 

[Rajdeep]

Is this because of your weight issue and you are not nimble enough? I know you eat a lot, hence asking.

I am 194 pounds. That's not super-fat.

I used to play league cricket in Canada (2010-2015). I also played indoor soccer in high school; participated in 2 tournaments.

Since I have never tried table tennis before, I struggled when I tried it the first time. Anyway, I found it boring. I like badmintion and tennis better.

 

[CricVet]

I love both and used to play both. Badminton is only easier if you are just tossing the shuttlecock as a novice learner. Play a game (better indoor or without breeze outside) and start smashing, your views will change

Ping pong us much easier as a learner if you just wanna toss the ball. Just as badminton, start playing shots during a rally will also change perspective

Anyways brother...they are both my favorite sports and played at a higher level growing up. When came to US, Tennis took over, however love . Still don't miss a chance to free my shoulder every now and then. I will take ping pong over badminton anyday since the setup is so much cheaper than badminton (no interest in backyard badminton)

LOL. I see.

I am not a big fan of badminton, table tennis, or tennis.

My favorite sport is football/soccer. After that, I like cricket. After that, I like pool, bowling, chess, and baseball. These are the 6 sports I prefer to play.

 

[Local.Dada]

Love to play Badminton, Table Tennis- more than decent at it but don’t watch the sport actively unless Olympics when Indian players are competing.

Tennis- very average at playing but love to watch the grand slams semi onwards every year whenever I get a chance both men and women.

Soccer- not good at playing but will watch only World Cup/ Euro passionately.

American sports- only superbowl. (Used to watch wwf/wwe as a kid if that counts)

Others- Olympics when Indian athletes are competing.

I used to participate in high school indoor football/soccer tournaments. Played in 2 tournaments. I was a goalkeeper.

I have played league cricket in Toronto. Played for 5 seasons in TDCA (Toronto & District Cricket Association). Played in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.

After that, I was a member of Canadian Chess Federation for 2 years. Played in 8 tournaments.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I don't really follow much else. Football is the second sport but there is a gap between how much I enjoy cricket and how much I enjoy football.

I enjoy grand slam tennis and big boxing match too
