I don't really care about esports being considered sports tbh. The two fanbases are clearly irreconcilable and calling both the same thing will probably never change that besides maybe getting LoL matches put on ESPN152 or whatever. I'm more amused at the thought that the term "sport" is clearly nebulous to the point of being nearly useless, which is what a right headed person should get from Ped's posts. And yet people still insist on defending "sport" until they're blue in the face.
