Should video games be considered a sport?

[Honeypye]

It is not a game cos u dnt exercise ur body

[outdatedruff7]

Video games can surely be qualified as the part of the sports and it will be fun.

[luckerders]

It can be aa great idea and it will also help many people in a lot of ways.

[StormFootball987]

Games like shooters and sport games like FIFA definately yes.

[SnoopySteve154]

Sure, especially game like Counter Strike and PUBG

[alhm78]

I believe video games are just for leisure and entertainment. I can't really, personally, consider them as sports.

[Jigsawman082076]

Video game is not a sport, it's just an entertainment game nothing more!

[golden27]

i dont think so
they are FUN yes
but i dont think they should be called sports

[assa90]

could be considered a sport because there are video games that use intelligence and brains to complete the game.

[mintevacuateY]

It is meant for just fun and time pass and should not be considered as the sport.

[CynthiaGreen12]

I suppose it have to be as it calls for:

1. intellectual attribute
2. intellectual alertness
three. Coordination of index finger moves
4. vision talents
5. Strategic questioning capabilities
6. crew paintings
7. and so on..

[ethereumyeahhh]

I think it should be considered and it will be fun to watch.

[SchiefelbeinBTC]

They are just for fun and they should not be considered as sports.

Cybersport is all fiction, sports are physical exercises, loads aimed at strengthening the body and video games are just a referral to mental activity

[CaptainEvansun]

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.

The Oxford Dictionary says that sport is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Video games certainly do involve physical exertion. It's usually not as much as in soccer, for example, but it is there. How can you draw the like? Is golf a sports? Is darts a sport? Archery? The most involve standing in one place and launching something away from you. You could say that they don't involved that much physical exertion. They certainly do involve it though and they are sports. I like to qualify videos games as cybersports, when they are play on a high competitive level.

[Taldrum]

I think VR games or anything that requires physical exertion and skill can be considered a sport. While most video games require some thinking skills, it can only be done by sitting down. Also take into consideration that when you say sport, people tend to think physical activities immediately so it is going to be hard to convince people to consider video games a sport.

[Hikkikomori]

it is not a sport but its name is sports esport which is shown electronically. it requires focus and eye care in using it

[nipunk]

obviously for being a better gaming player they they should have a talent. I think there is no problem if esport is considered as a sport.

[cryptoJJJ]

Yes it should, some of those games live and work like pro sports men.
 I don't like to see other people play E sports, but I do look for short video's about how to do things in game.

[Haryourmie]

They are two different things
