I believe gaming can be a sport, however I do realize the term of a sport considers physical toughness and athleticism, but does this mean that it still can't be a sport although there is strategy to it, For example, wrestling is a very physical sport, however it takes very much strategy as well as some physical toughness.
Looking forward for a fair debate but really I just want an honest fair opinion more then anything. ( this is my first "debate" on this site by the way!)
Hello. My stance is that esports, or any console/board gaming (Yes I know chess is considered a sport) are not sports. By esports, I'm assuming you're talking about fifa, NBA2K, horizon, etc. Sports require physical exertion and while if you're extremely out of shape, some can, very few don't. |

I understand, and I did state that I realize that sports do require physical toughness, I get that and I do think it is somewhat ridiculous that some people truly believe it to be a sport. However I guess what Im trying to say is that, although sports take physical toughness and skill, it also requires a great amount of mental toughness and strategic planning, just like chess as you even admitted is a supposed sport, so to call chess a sport, then Esports should be considered a sport.
Anywho, thanks for your reply and I will agree with you with your stance. This round has not been posted yet. |
