I think you'll find that physical aspects play a pretty big part in competitive gaming (hand eye coordination, reflexes, and ability to point/aim precisely are all physical actions as opposed to mental, and these can often distinguish the good from the great). As to your last sentence, I think that applies to any sport where you have to go head to head against another competitor.

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"

I'm not sure this part was necessary to convey your point.
