not surprised this is becoming a sport

[Snoop Da Dogg]

pretty cool on its own but it shouldn't be a loving sport

RC car racing has been a sport since FOREVERRRRR. I don't see why this doesn't get to be along with it.
Not to mention the whole "what is a sport and what isn't" fiasco is long past.

What happens when everyone in the audience has their cellphone out?

[pwnfulz]

anything that is competitive can be a sport imo

[Kingdaro]

pretty cool on its own but it shouldn't be a loving sport

a contest or game in which people do certain physical activities according to a specific set of rules and compete against each other

"Physical activity" encompasses a lot, you know.

[Tetris]

if darts is considered a sport so should this

[Kumquat]

[Filipe]

This actually looks pretty cool!

Nothing, these operate on completely different bands than cell/radio/wifi.
