eSport to me says "This is equally as worthless as regular sports, we just do these electronically."
All sports are games - they exist to pass the time. We've just found a market for them at the highest level. eSports, too, are pastimes and now, at the highest level, people are making money.
We've just got a century of human-livestock equating sports with a 21st version of a 15th century war. I don't mind that they did that, but they don't have domain over the word.
