I'll have to say yes video games are a sport. I suppose everyone can have their own definition of what a "sport" is, but by my estimation it qualifies. Being an avid gamer I'm a little bias. I belong to a team that plays Unreal Tournament. We are registered with a league, we play matches against other teams, have practices scheduled once or twice a week, we have our own server (home field), and we play the game with our team organized into "offense" and "defense". I'm not sure what the actual definition of "sport" is, but that sounds like it fits the bill pretty well to me.
