Video games are NOT sports. The U.S. recognized them as "athletes" for taxes purposes… Uncle Sam gets his.

cough cough it has sports in its name
Finally, someonw says it right, smacking a bunch of buttons in an order is neither a sport or a talent, even some 80 year old grandpa can become an esports pro.
he is right lmao
It’s not a sport get over it lmao.
I mean hes not wrong
And he’s right
Esports arent a sport
Correct.
Doesn't mean they shouldn't still get the spotlight.
Sure you may not say it’s a sport, but damn is it not everyday activity. That does take skill and hours of training of work and I have just as much as respect for them as I do physical athletes.
Athletes train their bodies day by day to get better. THAT'S SPORT! Gamers are sitting and try to get better just by playing.
FINALLY PEOPLE WHO ACCEPT, THAT ESPORTS IS NOT A SPORT!!!
It's okay guys when the boomer dies or retires we'll have our time
Sports are athletic competitions
The only way I’ll say a video game is a sport is if it’s madden or NHL…etc
John Skipper, the narrow-shouldered pansy does not get to dictate what is and is not a sport. Only athletes get to do that. You have to use your hands and it requires still. If bowling is a sport, so is gaming. Is it a sport that has a lot of physical activity… no, but golf and bowling are just as easy to do for a human body. It's the skill required from the arms and hands that make these three things a sport.
It’s funny seeing this now lmao
But the old man is right there’s a fine line between sports and gaming.
esports isn't a sport. stop confusing people.. it's better to called egames.
This video and comment section didn’t age well

that’s like saying chess is a sport
He's right.
Why is chess a sport
