Should video games be considered a sport?

[MakeMoneyBtc]

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.

Sport= an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
Video games meet the requirments to be called a sport, but i think this is only appliable on some games and at a high level of competition.

If this applied, I think there would be many children beating many adults, it could be considered a sport, because it requires strategy and intelligence, but somehow the games sometimes create addiction.
However, I would like it to be implemented, many people would have a great role in this area.

I think that in our time video games can be a sport. In some cases it is more popular than classic sports

[Catmurs]

I think it's a sport, as many people spend a lot of time in front of the computer and play and train , I think it's a sport , as well as chess!

 You're wrong, games can be sports too.
It is recognized by all countries of the world

[logitechwow]

I agree with you, games can not be a sport.
You're right

These games help to focus
Games need to move
And help increase physical activity.

[markstivn98]

I totally agree with you. Video games can not be a sport.

You're right on the exercise ,Is the favorite thing
It can not be dispensed with.
Even if the video games offer a sport.

It is considered as eSports. In fact, it will be an official medal sport at the Asian Games in 2022.

Same argument that some people and countries (even the olympic committee) can categorize chess as a sport. If we judge by the athletic activity then it's not a sport.

[RobertRay]

I think yes, it should be. If chess is a sport, why video games aren't?

[stegos4privacy]

Although I'm not in favor for it, but I think it can qualify as a sport because it requires critical thinking and good decision making — just like chess.

So you mean Chess and other board games must not be consider as sports as well?

Sports is not only consider by physicality because even our mind act for every sporting that we been doing,and since whe that video gams dont use physical?

We use fingers and hands when playing games in video games and sometimes we even do body movements and the most special part is our eyes and brain so wasnt this a sport?

[Ciscopro2000]

Yes, I consider any form of competition a sport.  You still need to practice and compete. 

[TimeBits]

Yes, some e-sports take more skill than traditional.

In the next 50 years, there will be more people playing e-sports daily than hockey. (I think there already is)

I totally agree with you. It is the matter of time. After 50 years, there will be more people who play video games. Today you can choose a game for every taste. For example, I play in Fortine and even got myself a game setting from famous gamers https://fortnitesettingspro.com

That’s why people nowadays are not physically fit like what we are before because people are more engaged in gadgets and computers,there’s no more interaction to others and only play and enjoy playing while sitting on the couch or laying in bed

What will happen to the world after 50 years that you’ve said?we won’t even reached age of 59 because of health issues

If we are to based on the definition of sport, video games shouldn't be considered one. Because on different definitions I've searched it commonly says involving physical athleticism, which video games don't have. However, without considering the definitions it should. Video have many benefits. That is on moderate playing. What's wrong with our generation is abusing everything that's why something new in our era looked and considered bad by the older generations. But Video games should be beneficial and must be considered as a sport category. At least for me.

[CPNpr]

Not real athletics but compared to dart, billiard, shooting yes same. Brain and concentration needed.

[zhekinsp]

I think more than the sports video game considering us and entertainment purpose but if we are playing the video game also we need some talent but it is not considered by me as equal to the sports it is and talent only.

I love video games so I definitely considered the video game Need some experience and also talent involved in it if we don't have any talent to play with game then we will not win this is the same thing followed by the sports also so I definitely consider it as Sports.
