Should video games be considered a sport?

[crypto002]

Nope i dont think its sports . sports required  physical activity video games cant be in sports

[Phunke]

Well that is if sitting down burns calories or makes you healthy which I totally doubt

[mngweaze]

Def sport.

1) There are teams or 1vs1
2) There are coaches involved
3) leagues/tournaments/champions
4) Money
5) sponsors

The only thing that is missing you can say is the physical aspect. But then again playing 8-10 hours a day to hone your skills is physically AND mentally demanding.

[Descon]

Yes because it needs skill

[CharlesCorley]

no.. because it does not a hard working thing.

Video games are not sports. The first sport requires physical activity. For example, football, volleyball, badminton

[springbulate008]

No, I don't think video games should be considered sports.

I am a computer gamer, but I wouldn't say computer games are sports.
They require certain skills just like in sports, but they only require you to use your upper body.

[ValiantEgg23]

Definitely yes! It should be considered as sport!! 😁

[queenstella]

i dont see it as a game. It  is more of an education because it has to do with the mental and ability skill

[HornChrist]

It’s already a sport. They consider to put esports in Olympic Games. I think after 8 years it’s gonna be a Olympic sport. Fingers cross, easy medals for Asian country’s.

[vabalkazh]

Definetely a sport

[HarryBrace]

never, because video game is not a real soprt.

[Len_nin]

It can't be considered as sport,it's silly to equate it with football,basketbal and etc. Only compiting in a real world can be considered as a soprt.

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

[PhilipCornel01]

I personally never support this.

Actually, in the present, video games are considered as a sports. They called it "E-sports". In this world of innovation, the thing in the environment are changing also. In the field of technologies, those are the things that improving. E-sports is already famous all over the world. Example of these is playing DOTA 2 and League of Legends. As of now, one of the reason why the world is united is the E-sports. Competing each other and having a good time.

[JimmyPangan]

[ad4m101]

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 indeed, you can call it a sport same as chess 

[crunkjuice16]

Yes Of course even though it's not an physical like others sports but in video games your body and mind it's a weapon. Esports they considered as a sports
