I mean... it technically is a sport, just not the amount of physical exertion we associate with it.
I would go as far to say that a lot of E-Sports demonstrate a lot more skill and competition than Golf.

Okay, the fact that you can compare different forms of physical competition to other types of physical competion to each other is what lumps them all under the same category as "sports". The fact that for gaming you have to give at qualifier when trying to describe it (the "e" in e-sport) essentially separates it from comparison to other activities catagorized as sports. Can you name another activity that would fall into the "e-sport" category? VLTs? The fact that it is separated into its own category pretty much tells you all you need to know. E-sports is a buzz word. That is all.
