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.
You're missing the point. This is just your personal preference on what sports you want to watch. What you're saying has sweet fanny adams to do with whether something is a sport or not. I don't see how you can logically apply anything you're saying in a way that becomes a functional method to say "This is a sport, this is not a sport".
