Sports gamers play

[Kahuna]

I run (sometimes half marathons), lift weights and stretch. Am trying to achieve spagat and 3300m in cooper test.

So seriously, go check it out if it piques your fancy.

Here's a vid of a small semi-recent tournament in Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCs1uOUucjI

Ah, too much effort for me, I think.  Looks cool enough, but I'll just stick with what swimming and such I do.  And sitting in this accursed chair. 

Am trying to achieve spagat and 3300m in cooper test.

And I just realized that I dont understand a word of this.

Sports is...too much effort?

It's a European thing:

Spagat = Splits
Cooper Test = 20 Minute Run

[Kahuna]

No, cooper test lasts 12 minutes.
Aka how far you can run in 12 minutes.

[Shrugging Khan]

God damn...but they felt like 20!

I think this is a totally false stereotype. I mean, how can you generalize it this way? It's not necessary that all gamers are nerds, or vice versa! At least me and my brother, we've both considered ourselves to be gamers since childhood, and I can very confidently vouch for the fact that neither oen of us is a nerd. He loves skateboarding, gymming and cycling long distances. I love swimming, playing table tennis and going on cross-country runs. Does that classify us as nerds in any way at all?

Absolutely. For some people, approximately 59% of the "American" population are:
- overfat virgin teenager male or young men under 25 living in the basement of their mother's house playing video games all day while having no jobs.

America is doomed  . Viva stereotype land  !
