No i'm not, I'm simply suggesting that until video games focus on all the attributes of the person playing them I don't consider them a sport.

If you want to play a game that uses physical prowess in the gameplay of the game I don't see why it's so unreasonable to expect the player to have it too. That seems perfectly reasonable to me.
