[StoryBehindUs]

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.

 YES, You can definitely improve your hand-eye coordination with video games

I don't consider video games a sport.Sportsmen should look like athelts but look at some cyber sportsmen,there's nothing even close with athletes.

According to your logic chess, poker, pool and many other low physical activity sports aren't sports. It is a sport as long as it is competitive and there are many people willing to compete in it and get better at it. Another important part is that it needs to have a high skill ceiling and be fun to watch. E-Sports has sports in the name dude

Yeah video games are not sports. Video games can have tournaments though. Competitions.

[HelloGarChi]

Yes it might be

[dakovic]

I say this as a gamer.  None.  Gamers are not athletes like chess players are not athletes.

[VentureHero]

Looking at the hype around e-sports nowadays, soon they might be considered as a proper sport. Money decides what sport is.

[Silnt]

no i think
what kind of sport??
finger sport???
lol

[Lexi44]

If it's not a sport, what about chess?

[cheeseandcrackers]

I'd say yes, it takes hand eye coordination in combination with reaction time and thinking ability.  Less physical than other sports, but people consider shit like bowling a sport.  I'd say it's fine to consider it a sport.

[derd]

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

[developer4z]

Yes. We already have crowd for games like rainbow six siege and CS GO. Might as well as add gambling to it for more fun.

Why not!! does it not take critical thinking before you can make a move. just asking

For me i think it is should considered as a sport.

[HornChrist]

I agree that it should not be considered as a sport. The same reasons everybody saying. You can call it eSport but that’s all not an actual sport.

[Bruce | Atomine Support]

Yes. ESports is a sport.

[Sagima]

i think it's can be called sport! but it's depend's on the kind of game you play! there are games that make's you depressed. but i will recommend  car race, football, bossing, cooking games are also interesting ..  and lastly you need to know your mental health before choosing the game!

[absenter87]

Of course, chess should be considered a sport, but they are worse than video games because they also develop the brain like chess
