Nah, he left in a huff. He didn't like the uber-feminist vibe of the forum when Sansa was here. Then when she was banned he didn't like the dudebro vibe and told the forum to go **** itself.

He miss his calling, he could the best troll this forum ever saw since Wendy Cal, just didn't have it in him for the long haul I guess. Sad really, Hermz gets perma-banned something he was Jonesing since forever, and in pure elation GB does the Irish jig... right off the cliff. Never to be seen again.

She was troll from days or yore. Even before my time. Only knew her from people speaking about her, years, maybe months since she left or was perma-banned.

Snooker is definitely a sport. People comparing it to chess

Thing is with chess/scrabble/cards etc, if you tell someone else to place your move for you, it's still you playing those games if you get me, because the moves are tactical rather than physical execution or a combination of both, whereas in snooker or even golf, execution and physical skill is required every time, you know to get the ball in the pocket/hole but how many people have the skill to actually execute the move? Doesn't matter how well you know the game or the rules.

Darts is a sport as well.

Funny as fuck if you've ever seen someone try to hit a golf ball from a tee or get a break of 10+ in snooker when they've never played before, can't say there's no physical exertion when you see those amatuerish swings and cue actions

btw realise this thread is old, dgaf. Not touching the eSport thing either.

Are you trying to make a point to me or something.

In my most recent post I acknowledged the eSports should not be lumped together with real sports.

However if your entire point is that something has to require a physical action taken by the player to be considered a sport, well then eSports absolutely qualify. There's no chance in hell I can execute combos like the top level players in League of Legends do because I'm a million times worse than them. The greatest play in LoL history by the greatest player in LoL history...



...could only have been executed by maybe 5 people on the planet

No I was agreeing with your post (hence ) and then posting my own opinion cos I saw some posters saying cue sports aren't sports.

wrt esports:
