On darts vis a vis whether it's a sport or not; I consider it a game, not a sport. Yes it takes skill, so does pool (billiards), bowling, golf etc. But you don't have to be an athlete to participate at a high level. A game requires skill, a sport requires skill and athleticism.
That's my take anyway.

I completely agree. My husband and I were having a similar discussion about whether competetive video gaming was a sport or not. He was saying it is because it needs mental fortitude and skill, and I was arguing the same points that you were. A 500 pound slob could theoretically win a cyber games competition; the same fat fuck wouldn't even qualify for any sport in the Olympics. Sports require you to be in top physical shape to compete. Games do not.

Yeah, I guess they coined the new term e-sports for it. I feel kinda the same way about nascar/f1 drivers. They have tremendous skill, and I understand they do some sort of physical conditioning (I wouldn't know, not being a fan) but it's not exactly a sport as the term is generally recognized, so they call it motorsports.

Going through one round of darts is probably more exercise than that ham gets in a week.

Raging Chestpain will surely live up to its name doing any kind of activity.

This one time I ran I marathon, 26.2 miles, and my leg seized up. Ever tried to walk, much less run, on a leg that refused to work, while at mile 20?. I still finished in under 5 hours. I know someone who's ancient and sedentary parents can walk it in under 8 hours. It's pathetic and should be mercy killed.

Lmao. Yep. At just a normal human's walking weight of 3mph you should be able to do a marathon in 9 hours. It takes a special kind of athlete to slow that down another 3 hours.

Most of the esport players are humans. I think that says a lot about how fat affects your brain, reaction time, and fine finger skills.
image search here It really embodies the skinny nerd/geek stereotype for most.

Still... we can't forget Desrow from starcraft 2. Super obese, and all of the shItty traits that go along with fats. Manipulative, cowardly, goes back on his word, and constantly shiiiiiiiiiiit talking.
He even did his "I'm trying to go pro" video in a fucking fast food place. What an embarrassment.

A 12 hour marathon is 2 miles per hour. 2!

It's hard to walk that slow.

93 year olds can do it in less than 7 hours. Her time is nothing short of a disgrace.

Did it roll the entire way? I'm fairly sure someone could do the worm the entire marathon and beat 12 hours.

She took like multiple piss breaks (and probably shit breaks too) and at that massive size they probably take quite a while. I imagine she spent at least an hour in a bathroom given that she finished so far behind all the elderly.

Raging Chestpain is famous for its 12 hour long marathon.
It's important to note that some details were omitted from its blog: it did sign as a "walker" instead of a runner; it was the last one to cross the finish line, several hours after all the remaining competitors, including many elderly runners; there was a time limit of 12 hours that was disrespected; and the race officials were volunteers, meaning they were kept there just to sustain its narcissism.
