sport is something that requires athletics activities so i would say it's not a sport

>>677965830
an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

Meets the definition other than the physical exhertion.
Just a thought.
Maybe... just maybe.... that's why gaming tournaments are advertised and labeled as "esports" not sports.
Maybe, just maybe, esports are what competitive gaming is, s o asking if esports are sports is like asking if boardgames are videogames.

My brother is a professional gamer he plays FIFA and he was the runner up of the FIWC. I wont say it's a sport but it is just as intense

>>677965830
"Sport" is an odd word. It groups together activities that have literally nothing in common. Take kick boxing and lawn bowling. However, I think to call it simply "gaming" would imply there is more chance than skill. But, chess is not a sport either, and it has more in common with e-sports, than it does with any other sport. The fact that there are teams doesn't make a difference. It's debatable.

its esports

I made a presentation showing how it is a sport. It's mentally straining and you have to work a lot of dedicated hours like Football.... At the end he said, 'This gaming is not a sport, it has no physical activity.'

It's societies way of making fags and nerds feel like athletes because of some trauma that happened while they attempted real sports. They usually just blame the jocks as bullies / then shoot up schools and blah blah. So we got smart and made vidya a sport so you can feel like a jock. Just to be a fag and shoot people or animals. Also, you still won't get laid.

>>677966154
Chess is not considered a sport by any definition available. It is considered a game.

>>677966748

also why does CSGO average more viewers per tourny if thats the biggest "esport"?

E-sport, wow you cuck are lazy fuckers aren't you? Sitting in a chair staring at a screen is not a sport and neither is NASCAR. Christ almighty you neckbeards.

It's not a sport, it's an 'e-sport' hence the name.
It has a different name because it involves a different form of competition than the physical activity of sports.
I think it can be classified as a sport in the sense that it involves continuous training and full effort at a professional level but I think it's own form of competition.

My statement still stands - if the definition of "sport" is broad enough to contain chess, it is broad enough for eSports. If the definition of sports involves "heavy physical activity", then it is not.

>>677969001
Kek. I kind of have to agree

sport (spôrt, spōrt)

n.
Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
n.
A particular form of this activity.
n.
An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports,[4][5] although limits the number of mind games which can be admitted as sports.

The reason they say chess/videogame players are "athletes" playing in a "sport" is so whem they have tournaments over seas(which happens often now-a-days) they can get athlete visas to visit and play in other countries. It's essentially a loophole for players of non-sports because there aren't laws and regulations in place to give teams of neckbeards and sweaty ching chongs visas to sit on their ass and roll their dorito-crusted fingers all over a keyboard.
Despite this, people try to scream it's a sport. It's about as cringey as watching SJW's try to justify their retarded shit.

>>677965830
Sports are organized competitive games.

If chess can be a sport, so can StarCraft II.

Bullshit, there have been unathletic "sports" since antiquity

Unless one were to seriously claim that, for instance, fox hunting requires any more meaningful physical exertion than street fighter.
