And yet people still insist on defending "sport" until they're blue in the face.

na i totally agree with that, as i said above. that's why there will always be plenty of "fake sports" in the eyes of the public.

Surely you're all missing the point here, which is that trolling should be considered a sport. Should be in the Olympics, honestly.

Among the Qwerty-types? Sure. And maybe that contingent will significantly increase over the years, but I highly doubt your average football or soccer fan gives a flying **** about StarCraft or LoL, or has even heard of them, any more than your average person in general has, outside of South Korea.

Qwertyy only likes sports that involve balls. Qwertyy likes balls. And the occasional puck.

What the hell is wrong with you? Elph is an anarchist! He wouldn't impede sweat on its way down his forehead. That would be fascist. He'd just let it make its own way down to his neck. Obviously. Take your sweat repression hatred somewhere else, pal.
