Sometimes I play a game but to consider it an actual sport is quite a stretch. It isn't the same as playing a physical sport, moving around and making use of your body in various ways than just press buttons.

To be fair, I guess you could say it's sports that make use of mental capacities than physical capacities. Though, in this case then they should have chess and the likes than games such as Fortnite, League of Legends, Heartstone, Counter Strike and so on.

Golf and pool/snooker are sports and you barely ever move around so, eh. lol

When I started learning to ride my electric unicycle a few years ago, whenever people used to stop me, I used to joke to them that I was practicing for the Olympics. Well, you never know...lol

Interesting, but how they going to choose the games. The big games already have competitions and if u are cool and play good u can win a lot of money, so I do not get it, how it will be part of physical sport activities and what is it to do with them???
