    I would like to rank fighting games, but not all eSports. It seems silly to me to put them all into one category.

      Editing … And I'd like to add that it seems silly to me to have Sports itself here. It's like … "<Video Games> is my Favorite Video Game #5".

      Editing … I don't get how gaming can get counted as a sport. Same deal with the board games on this list. The dictionary definition's "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment". Gaming's obviously missing the physical exertion side of things.

      Editing … The age old debate of what is a sport and how much physicality is needed to call it a sport. Rene your going down a long road my friend. But i do agree with you, i think gaming, boardgames (chess most notably) aren't sports but are competitions. But i've given up on that because there's usually a great big debate about it and i just don't care that much lol.

      Editing … Yeah, I know. I've heard arguments for snooker and pool before because they involve physical skill even if it is just aiming. I can go either way with those. Chess doesn't involve physical skill at all though and gaming's outright virtual, surely we can all agree they shouldn't count.

      Editing … Sport by it's definition is "competitive physical activity". Snooker and Darts are tests of accuracy and finesse so count. Formula 1 and eSports are tests of reaction time, spacial awareness, and twitch control so count. Chess, Go, any turn based eSport, they test mental abilities so they are not sports, they're games.
