I can give credit to Remy and he's right. DDR is NOT a sport! It never was and it never will be. *End of Subject*

i completely agree. i love ddr, im obssessed, but i cant see it becoming a sport. i do think however that making something for it like the cpl (the money league) would be cool. maybe when it comes to xbox live

DDR couldn't be a sport. Video game, yes. Exercise equipment, sure. Sport? I don't think so...

when was the last time you saw an underground video game be an event in the world fucking olympics? this idea of putting ddr in the olympics is so rediculous its not even worth discussing. if i had the ability, i would lock this thread.

Well believe it or not I'm going to.......disagree with the major verdict that everyone has delievered. I believe it could be in the olympics.

Why?? First, DDR is music based meaning; that just about any genre of music could be used. That in turns means that the amount of music that could be used is pretty much perpetual. With the right amount of dedication, ever increeasingly difficult songs could be made and different ideas could be realized. Plus, other technical attributes of music could be used opening up bold new possibilites. Such as different timing schemes and adjustable scales and what not. One really could see the best in the world if just enough imagination and popularity was put into it.

This thought sounds very possible to me. So why can't all of you guys really see something like this happening. Sure, DDR isn't hard to learn, but seeing those that extremely gifted would truly be a dream come true. It all has to be done in the right way.

I hope my opinion opened some new avenues to explore in this thread.
