Halo joins ESPN. Does that
make it a sport?

ESPN has entered a content agreement with Major League Gaming.

Under the deal, it will provide "extensive digital coverage" of MLG coverage in 2008, including "extensive streamed matches, pro player interviews, and scores and stats," according to an MLG release.

In exchange, the MLG will host ESPN co-branded tournaments.

ESPN has also launched a competitive video gaming section on its site with news and video.
