Video games are just so fundamentally different from actual sports that attempts to compare them to actual atheltic endeavors are laughable at best.

Lets all stop pretending that they are the same, because they arent. And realistically there is nofirm argument that someone isnt going to nit pick holes in that will show it. But at the end of the day video games simply dont pass the eye test. Meaning, no person could ever see a bunch of people sitting around playing video games and mistake it for an Athletic Competition. And that is a hurdle video games in their current state will never be able to get over.

Ive seen the arguments for and against video games as an athletic endeavor to know its not one worth having. There is simply a disconnect between most peoples definition of sports, and "esports" proponents' definition. And no matter how much the latter group tries to bend video games into the box that is the first groups definition, they fall miserably short.
