The "sport - not a sport" debate completely misses the point. It's an arbitrary label. Do you watch hockey because it qualifies as a sport? Or because it's fast-paced and entertaining?
At the end of the day, any competition where:
- Player showcase some sort of skill or ability against one another
- The player who shows superior skill or ability generally wins
- People enjoy watching
is as legitimate as any other. That coin flipping example is an absurd strawman - nobody is saying "reflexes > 0 => sport"
