I am fine with it being a thing but I think e sport is the wrong word for it. It should just be called Pro Gaming

I think e sports is a dumb word, and high level players are not athletes

But so tired of the debate

To people who need to justify their hobby, fine video games are a sport art career and totally not entertainment/a waste of time

I believe in playing games for fun and as a profession, but I think the term e-sport is stupid. It would be like calling card games like Magic the Gathering or board games like Risk a sport.

Its just my opinion. I think sports have some type of athletic, physical exertion beyond using a controller or mouse/keyboard. Or putting down cards. Or moving pieces on a board.

Only fighting games in the traditional "esport" sense interest me at all.

Other than that, I do think competitive speedrun racing can be quite compelling. But I don't believe that's mainstream esports outside of the GDQ streams, which are technically supposed to be non-professional.

When I Google "Is Chess a sport":
According to this definition, chess does not assimilate with the term 'sport' as physical exertion is not something the game requires.

When I Google is "Do video games require physical exertion":
Video games, particularly ones that are online multiplayer, require a tremendous amount of training in skill, strategy and coordination. In many situations, teamwork is vital to success. But video games are largely an exercise in mental ability and lack any component of bodily exertion.

I don't get why we gotta do this dance lol. Putting them in the same category as athletes just feels like a participation trophy or enabling of delusion

Just picture the guy playing games that demands he be called an athlete. Lol. It's gonna be an easy roast
