Xiran Jay Zhao is looking to test the limits of what's considered a sport by petitioning that the trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! be added to the Olympics. Whether or not this petition was made purely as a meme is unknown, but it has gained a surprising amount of traction. Since the creation of the petition, it has garnered 11,000 signatures from fans all around the world, to the point where some are wondering if this could truly become a reality.

It is impressive that Xiran Jay Zhao can get 11,000 signatures to make Yugioh an official Olympic sport.

It is impressive. But I don't see this becoming a sport in the Olympics. I would be surprised.

The way he has written it, I'm guessing that it's a joke. I hope gaming or these card games never get added as "sports" lol.
