Sport - An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.Tell that to Korea and China.
E-Sports have become big. Skateboarding was considered not a sport at one time too.
Yea there isn't much physical athletics but there is quite a lot of mental athletics in this.
I can see both sides though.
Chess players should also get the ranking of Athletes if a League players can get it.
Physical exertion - The activity of exerting your muscles in various ways to keep fit.
E-sports, by definition.. is not the correct thing to call them either. I don't know about you, but I've never met the person that uses theirs K+M or joystick or controller to keep themselves healthy and fit. They are professional gamers. Simple as that.
Note: I know you're looking at both sides of the fence with your reply, but both sides of the fence need to come up with something new if "Professional Gamer" isn't good enough. On the note of Chess players, I also agree that people that do that should have something. Poker players are called "Professional Poker Players" aren't they? So why is "Professional Gamer" and "Professional Chess Player" not good enough?
