How come anyone who has the opinion that disagrees with it being a sport is willfully ignorant? I totally understand competitive gaming requires immense skill and practice. But I just don't classify it as an athletic sport, plain and simple. Why are esports people so adamant in fitting it into that description? To me, it's something different, and should be classified as such. It doesn't take away from the fact that is ultra competitive and requires a lot of work to get good at.
