Do you guys count esports as a sport?
#1
I do myself, but surprisingly see many people not think it is an actual sport.



#2
I'm on the fence with this one. by definition, it is a sport but i can't put gamers in the same class as someone who plays football, basketball etc. imo "e-sports" should be it's own thing and not compared to "athletic sports"



#3
Personally id keep it at two different things, esport, and just sports.



#4
I'd count it as a sport. For me sport isn't just the act of doing something physically demanding. The competition is a huge factor in defining a sport.

Chess is a sport, therefore e-sports is sport.



#5
I view it as 2 different things. The physical demand of sports is too much.



#6
I do think it’s a sport.

I think sport needs to have its own branches off it though.

Physical
Electronic
And probably a lot more



#7
For me, since it is very competitive I definitely consider it a sport. But I wouldn't consider professional League of Legends players for example, as athletes.



#8
I think a lot of people have a bad rep for esports they think that esports players are just nerdy people playing videogames for a living. Because of that people don't take esports seriously especially in comparison to real sports.



#9
No not really



#10
Definitely a sport. In its own category, but it is since it requires a lot of skill!
