[edit] Proposal: Use game terms instead of sport terms

This sport is a mind sport, which is defined in Wikipedia as a game of mental skill. Also, use of the term sport implies that Jackson only plays computer or video games that simulate the playing of traditional sports, which is not true. Use of the term sport is not appropriate for this article's topic. The title of the article should be changed to something like Ben Jackson (professional gamer) (gamer, since that is what he is and professional to provide a distinction between those paid to game and those non professional gamers who are not paid). Other references to sport in the article should be changed to game. This was brought up in the second AfD. Please post your thoughts and make a change if a consensus is reached. -- Jreferee 20:54, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
