Poll: Atheletics and Gamers

[R3DINK]

I would like to see just how many gamers actually aren't athletes. I suspect this may help kill the nerd stereotype or prove it stronger than ever.

I am in my second year of American Football, and next year I plan to start Krav Maga.

Booyah! *etc. Various Americanisms*

It just doesn't mix well for me.

 

[Caimekaze]

I fence, and am a (beginner) traceur. So multiple sports for me!

 

[DigitalSushi]

I cycle like a crazy mofo.

I've participated in national volleyball pro-competition for years. I sustained serveral sport-injuries (dislocated shoulder, shin splints, broken rib etc.) and since then I work as a volleyball instructor for collage students 2-3 times a day.

Oh, that and I play videogames like 4-8 hours a day.

 

[senfrith]

But! But!! What about old timers who play rec sports after they are out of high school and college? I played ice hockey for about 10 years after I graduated from college...

 

[Kermi]

I voted that I never liked sports, but I did plenty as a kid. Baseball, Football, Soccer, water Polo, Hockey, Martial Arts.
Not so much in recent years. Guys I work with talk about going to the gym. I play video games.
Suffice to say, I don't really fit in.

 

[HaruHearts]

I'm a 3 year fencer now 'retiring' lol damn school exams and last year.

Pop it, lock it, put a latch on it, then check it (involves stroking chin).

Me and my friend do that every time we meet in university. Every. Single. Time.

And it's just grand.

 

[mokes310]

I played ice hockey all throughout high school. Enjoyed every minute of it.

 

[Martymer]

Started training ju jutsu when I was 16. I'm 28 now, and still very much into it. I'm a 2nd degree black belt, and I've been instructing for several years.

 

[Kage Me]

I do floor hockey in the winter, and field hockey in the other seasons. I also played tennis as a kid, but it interfered with the hockey, so I dropped it.

 

[iain62a]

I play rugby and football.

Football is usually only for fun with friends though, I don't play for a team, though I used to.

I play rugby competitively for my local team and for my school team. It's the sport I play most too, by a long way.

It would be more interesting to see how many athletic people aren't gamers, almost everyone plays some games now.
