Do you consider video games a sport?

[Donadoldin]

I completely understand your perspective when it comes to traditional sports that entail physical exertion. But let's talk about esports, like CS:GO, League of Legends, and Dota. They might not require the same physical exertion as, say, running a marathon, but they demand intense mental focus, lightning-fast reflexes, and top-notch teamwork.

Depends on the definition.. . but yes, why not. I think they could be called a sport but they are much more addictive than any sport, so they could be unhealthy. Other activities that are widely considered a sport could be unhealthy too.

People who play lots of sports do not gain weight and fat and are not out of shape, except maybe Sumo wrestlers, and they are actually quite fit!

Hello there

Competitive e-sports are a test of concentration, reaction speed and hand-eye co-ordination. In most cases your heart-rate will increase too. From these criteria it's more involved than Archery, which is definitely a sport, so I would class it a sport.

Also, less fit players will experience muscle fatigue which which will impact performance, so having a workout in your preparation would improve performance, like other more physical sports.

Of course not........in the sporta you need to do some exxercise i think .......videogame its a hobby but not sports

 

[rachelle2291]

Video games and mind games are definitely not sports

 

[sharkalbi]

Oh hell yeah!

 

[Toruk Makto]

No, maybe a fun and competitive way to make money!

I don't consider any game that is played sitting on your ass a sport.... video games, poker, chess... not a sport👎

In recent years we have seen that many video games are considered E-sport titles such as cs.go, league of legends, dota. Do you consider these games an electronic sport? For me it cannot be called a sport if it does not require physical effort.

Sports are different. And computer games can also be partially considered a sport. If there is a game, and there are many players who compete with each other, primarily for the sake of sports interest, then such an activity can be called sports competitions, I guess. Although, for example, I do not consider poker a sport, for me poker is just a game of chance, where money plays a fundamental role.

Absolutely not, video games are fun, competitive and require skills, but they does not incorporate enough physical aspects to be a sport

 

[GNuTTz]

Absolutely not! LOL… is chess a sport? Or any other board games?? Unless perhaps you are exercising while playing video games- I will give you that. 🥳

Personally I don't see video games as a sport. I do like they call it a esport though. It defines it not as a sporting event but electronics and I think that's OK and i don't mind the word sport in it. Some people has asked is poker a sport? I don't believe poker is either but it is a mind activity like in any other strategy game. If poker was to be defined as a mind sport or a sport of the mind that i could agree with

Hello, ODRAGD3! I can to say only one by this question: I fully agree with You! No comments!

 

[AndyFio]

I think that video games can be called cyber sports. The fact is that they have not yet been recognized as an official sport, but they are recognized as e-sports and I think they deserve it, because sport is not only about physical training, but also about intellectual abilities, which, of course, are needed for a high level of play. I found a decoding of the term sport itself: Sport is an activity of people organized according to certain rules, consisting of a comparison of their physical and intellectual abilities.
At a minimum, according to your logic, chess, darts, golf, etc. should not be sports, but they are officially.

 

[jcxmendes]

I don't know if it's a sport or not! Video game is not a sport Is poker a sport?

 

[stank12345]

Of course not sports require some level of physical activity sitting on a chair with a computer is not a sport

 

[SinContrato2002]

I don't consider video games as sports. since it does not involve physical effort.

 

[km1n]

Well it depends as how you look a sport if you think is only physical then no but if you believe in competition and brain skills then yes .
For me is a sport a video game sport

Half a year ago I bought myself virtual reality glasses. You guys have no idea what this is. After playing for 4 hours, my legs ached for 3 days. It felt like I went to fitness for a workout.

 

[Michel_11]

Certainly not. How can it be a sport to have a joystick in your hand?

Gamers train in a gym like anyone else, but in sports the job is when it's your turn to play an event you need all the physical and mental strength possible to be able to achieve a good performance. A gamer is not exposed to physical efforts during an event.

 

[gabryyyel31]

in Metaverse maybe

 

[Nintendo]

Not in the form is physical fitness. But in terms of strategic thinking and hand eye coordination yes.
