    Well, it's some sort of sport I guess. But I wouldn't exactly see it as a real sport really.

    I consider it a sport, and esports are something I actually enjoy watching (where "sports" bore me). If chess and table tennis can be a sport, why not allow video games that have serious competitiveness, require a degree of skill and intellect, and are accessible to those who may not be able to be physically active due to health reasons, to be sports too.
