Video games televised as a sport? … We’re doomed, all right.

CBS Sports - emphasis here on Sports -- in mere hours will televise the World Series of Video Games tournament; actually, a collection of highlights from that event held last month in Louisville.

CBS Sports.

A video game tournament.

Now don't misunderstand: I have absolutely nothing against video games ... aside from the fact that my three 5-year-olds already possess far more skill at playing them online than their old man ever will. (Their favorite of the moment is Wubbzy's Amazing Adventure.)

And I type these words fully mindful of the fact that games as dubiously athletic as golf and poker are plastered across the TV sports schedule as though they were the American pastime (that would be NFL football, by the way, not boring old baseball, which I worship). ... And that I watch both golf and poker on TV with great fervor.

But video games? As sport?

Who knows? ... I know. In 10 years we could be looking back on today as the beginning of the end.
