I think that they should be considered, they are already being considered , with all the phenomenom of esports, they need practice and team coordination so yeah, they are not that easy to get into professionaly.

Video games should not be a sport. First sport  require physical activity, moving your hand all day and starring at a screen is not a sport.

So they call this is E-sport.

First sport  require physical activity, moving your hand all day and starring at a screen is not a sport.

So what do you think about chess? Sitting a place and moving the hand? 

[valkyrie_12Vl]

i think the idea of sport is competing to show your abilities wheter physically or mentally, and video games show skills mentally so it can be considered as a sport.

Video games in my opinion could be consider sports. Coz there are no specific the limitation to consider as sport. If you need mentally yes players use it, movements there is even limited to hand and eye. But the essence of winning the game and teamwork is there.

[Giardesano]

It is not a sport.

[MadDhar]

I personally am not a big gamer, however I believe that some video games could be considered a sport. But what makes sport a sport? Physical activity? Chess is also considered a sport, but you don't have to put much physical effort into it. Things that make sport a sport is partially the competition, the fanbase, and the tense (interesting, and maybe a bit stressful) moments. The idea of winning and passion is a big part of the sports world as well. I think that gaming and e-sports have the same thing as for example other high sports leagues.

[nandaprana]

video games like virtual reality have physical movements that can be said to be sports

[Sunshangxiang]

I think long-term video games will have a certain impact on your vision and psychology, especially for kids! So I don't think it should belong to sports!

[canwithme]

It  is more of an education because it has to do with the mental and ability skill

[Janna Akali]

Yep, why not?
Chess also do not requires any kind of physical activity.
Its all about brains, but Videogames - about brains and skill.

[M7MMike]

I will never want video games to convert in to the sports as it will kill everything.

[poTTer666]

Seems like a ver interesting idea and if that happens it will be too great.

[kennmobility]

absolute no mate, sport is anything that can make you sweat, you can never sweat by playing video games 

[Lafu]

you can never sweat by playing video games 

If you play it right , for sure you get sweat , depends on the Game !   lol

[Lakad normalin]

Yes, just like chess its a mind sport

[maytinhvinh95]

yes. i think it is an intellectual sport 

[Bittzy78]

I am going to have to go with no.

Unless, it involves running around in a room as part of a VR simulation.

[SimonOdell]

Games are competitive, require training and can have prizes... they are completely a sport.

[Rafroth]

I definitely agree. Sport is some kind of physical activity in my point of view. Video games should be called e-sport but definitely not Sport.
