What up guys, hopefully I put this in the right section if not I'll move it to Off-Topic, I figured alot of community members are Seniors in HS and have Senior Papers. Here is a very very shortened version of my Senior Paper, it just has the Intro/Pro-Side/Con-Side, the actually length came out to be 15 pages. Figured this could help someone this year and in the future. Enjoy.

That was an excellent read, I agree with you thinking it should be a sport as well. I think anything that brings a competitive aspect to the people could be considered competitive. I mean if you want to get technical there are games for the Wii, Kinect, and Move that I imagine will eventually be introduced to the Pro Circuit eventually. So when that time comes will they then consider gaming to be a sport?

The way the paper was set-up I had to give my opinion, for everyone's sake i didn't post the entire paper but i got into more specifics for each side. In my eyes, Sunday at MLG Event with top teams fighting for that check, is a sport. Does it matter to me what you call it though? Nah not at all.

Hope you guys enjoy and can use something out of it.

Very nice, but I don't think that some of those things were true. For example the whole ESPN part. There actually isn't any ESPN representation at events.

MLG & ESPN went separate ways at the end of '09

Like I said on the MLGpro thread, if poker is a sport, then competitive gaming is too.
