Ultimately, I think, they will add the sports that they know that people will watch. Modern Olympics are, after all, about the tv and streaming rights and the profits that can be made from them.

You are right about that. If we base the data on what people watch when they turn on the television, it would make more sense for video game tournaments to be Olympic sports. From what I have read on that subject in South Korea those tournaments have a large audience. Also, the players who participate in these tournaments are highly paid and as famous as movie stars, so I am sure that if one day these tournaments are part of the Olympic Games they would be very well received by the public.

Indeed, I know this is a legitimate career in South Korea. Not everyone makes it, as it is very competitive, no pun intended.

I think it should be considered a sport. Even some foreign competitions consider it. It still involves competition and strategy. Plus it doesn't limit you from being physically fit just to play.

I did not know the part about IOC. That is pretty interesting actually. I wonder if we'd ever see video games at the Olympic games. Maybe not anytime soon, but who knows, it may still happen.

Video games should not be a sport. First sport require physical activity, moving your hand all day and starring at screen is not a sport.
I think games are a sport, but only if you play in a professional team where there are tournaments and it's hard

I like video games but it doesn’t compare to sports at all. Sports are typically played outside and are always physical, along with being social. I think it’s great that Wii made an effort to get gamers moving but even then it doesn’t measure up.

As an avid gamer and a proponent of a healthy lifestyle, I strongly believe that computer games should be considered a sport. While some may argue that playing video games is a sedentary activity, it's important to recognize the physical and mental demands that gaming can require. First and foremost, many competitive video games require lightning-fast reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and intense concentration. Moreover, gaming also provides a sense of community and social connection. Just like traditional sports, esports teams often have a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork. Additionally, gaming can be an excellent way to connect with other individuals who share similar interests, regardless of geographical location. Many players even have to use some tools like VPN to be better at a cetrain game. I firmly believe that computer games should be considered a sport. With the physical and mental demands required, the sense of community and social connection, and the growth of the industry, there is no reason why gaming should not be given the same recognition as traditional sports.

Video games require a ton of skill, strategy, and hand-eye coordination. I mean, have you seen those pro gamers? They train for hours and hours to become the best. They even have their own tournaments with big money prizes. It's like a whole other world. And let's not forget about teamwork. Lots of video games are team-based, and you need good communication and collaboration to win. It's just like traditional sports where you rely on your teammates to succeed. The mental aspect is important too. Video games make you think and react quickly.

I totally get your point about the physical aspect of traditional sports, like running, jumping, and all that action. Video games don't involve the same kind of physical exertion.

Sports are not the same as video games because they are completely unrelated activities.

Sports are physical activities that require the entire body to move; on the other hand, games engage the intellect.

Sports are beneficial for one's physical, mental, and energy levels; games are only a means of measuring precision and speed.

Yeah you are right OP.  Video games has positive and negative effects in ones physical and mental health. As a video gamer we are having no physical activities and our eyes are at risk as well but not only that because stroke and heart attack is common to this activity. Maybe video games can be considered as e-sports correct me if I'm wrong.

well with  any activity, moderation is key. It's crucial for gamers to incorporate breaks, engage in physical activities, and be aware of their overall well-being. If gaming becomes excessive and begins to impact physical or mental health negatively, seeking a balanced lifestyle and professional advice is recommended.
