If chess is a sport, anything competitive is. Those guys make Justin Wong look like James Bond.

Edit: and how about the Olympic sport of dancing around with a ribbon?

"Traditional, I don't watch any eSports at all"
"I don't watch any kind of sporting event, traditional or eSports"

You seem to have missed those two options.

Presumably on a poll that asks a question for which that would be a valid answer. The poll isn't asking your opinion on the concept, it's asking how often you watch them.

it's asking how often you watch sports while including something that isn't.

if a poll asks which kind of burger you like most and sushi is an option it wouldn't be correct either

it's asking about eSports, nor regular sports though.

regardless if you like it or not, esports is a very real thing.

Yeah, no, it didn't ask that. The exact poll question was: "Which do you watch more of: traditional sports, or eSports?"
Esports is just the accepted nomenclature, a label everyone understands.

You might have a point if the question was: "What's your favorite sport? Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Starcraft 2, Football, League of Legends". But even then, you could just answer the poll honestly rather than try to make a statement.

I'd say "competitor" or "participant" at most. Athletes are athletic, hence the title. Pounding Red Bull and turning your hat sideways to feel XXXtremez isn't really a show of physical prowess.

kinda what i was getting at, same reason i think its dumb to call nascar a sport, when you ask 'does this sport make you an athlete?' it just makes the whole question silly
