If they are not so already video games will come to be considered a sport so long as we start to think of them as such. I mentioned this a while ago, but words on their own do not contain inherent meanings, but rather are functional according to various usages. It seems almost certain that before too long the word "sport" will be redefined by everyone to include video gaming. So, it is not really up to any of us to determine what is or is not a "sport." The natural progression of culture and the evolution of language will make that decision for us.
