I'm really not concerned with technical definitions, to be honest. Most times, when asked an opinion-based question, I just go with my gut instinct and whatever pops into my head. I don't believe e-sports AKA gaming is a legit sport. When I hear the word "sports," fat neckbeards with Mountain Dew running through their veins doesn't instantly come to mind. To be a sport, you need physical exertion beyond clicking a mouse and punching a few buttons. Even in sports requiring low athleticism, your physical activity is the main activity crucial to your success. With games, it's more about playing such an amount that you know the habits and tendencies of other users in multi player games.
I'm not even sure why I went that far with my comments. Just thinking that some people consider gaming a sport is laughable to me when I say it out loud. Are gamers athletes? Lol, I have this picture in my head of acne-ridden virgins with man boobs gaming while watching peers throw a football around outside and then jumping on message boards and saying "Yea, I play sports........ Battlefield"
