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.There are some video games that can replace physical sports, because playing games can also stimulate our adrenaline. But it won't be good if we play video games for too long.
What about those countries, I am not sure I understand what you mean.Maybe every country has a different view about video games whether including sports or not?
If I don't, I don't think video games are a sport! But playing video games is a hobby for those who love it, and I don't really like playing video games myself!Hi bro, I totally agree with you. Until this time, I spent a lot of time playing games. I had nothing to gain. Now when I get to my computer in my spare time, I come here to learn something and communicate with different people. I wish it had happened to me before.
There are many sports that we can do to keep the body healthy, but playing video games is really just a waste of time.
If I don't, I don't think video games are a sport! But playing video games is a hobby for those who love it, and I don't really like playing video games myself!Do you think chess is a waste of time because it's not a physical sport?

it is considered as sport, as it involved mental activity and physical activity but limited to hand movement and it is somewaht called as e-sport.
Would competitive bricklaying not be considered a sport though?
As far as I know there are sports that don't rely on a lot of physical movement. Chess for example. It is officially a sport played in many countries. In my opinion, video games deserve to be a sport because they rely on strategy and quick reflexes. Moreover, he is very relevant to today's technological developments...I agree with you. Video games deserve to be part of the sport. It's just that to maintain physical fitness, it's better to choose another sport
It doesn't sound like a complete sport to me. It can be an activity that makes money. But it's hard to call it a sport. When I bought Metro 2033 Redux, a lot of people said. That everyone who plays it is a cyber athlete. I didn't understand that. It's just a popular game. It's not available to everyone.You may say that, but we also have to understand that the world of sports evolves with the times. including in terms of cyber sports. This change must be accepted as a result of technological developments

Isn't chess considered a sport competition?
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.
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.

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.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.Video games should not be a sport.

Video game cannot be considered as sport because it doesn't not really have that physical activity features. Sport are physical activities that we engage ourselves on so that we can enjoy the pleasure. We only move our fingers when playing video games and one needs the skill to win. Sport is not for one person to participate in but in video game, only one person can play it. All these reasons put together makes video games not sport.First of all what is video game? And if you understand video, is using pads to play football in you computer or mobile phone is video or virtual games? And from my research about video game, sport is a video game. Because there are pictures showing on the screen for you to see with their motion activities. So I don't see why user here would say that sport is not a video. Do you play football with radio? No but in the computer with joystick and other pads to navigate the characters on the screen. When we answer we should think of it very well before answering and we should not just dash into because plenty people are saying yes. Check their comments and think of it before making our contribution. As for me I see sport as a video game.
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.
Speed reading, computer programming, gaming e-Sports (which is a new term used for all video games based competitions), spelling bee, and geographic bee, all fall under the mind sports category.
I think "competitions" is a much better term for it. The same way there are chess competitions.
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.Sport compose of many variant and one of those is MIND COMPETITION and i believe in Video games we are engaging in much more use of mind and tactics , also with team works together with speed of hands .
Video games are just games. Sport is something you participated in with on field or stage while a game is something you play with an opportunity or AI.
What about esport then? All those DotA, Counter-Strike and sport related video games. People really spend lot of time training, have competitions with prizes, champions. If you google the word sport, you will get Sport is a form of physical activity or game. Often competitive and organized, sports use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport). Perfect description of what people do behind pc or console while playing. If we measure sport that is something where physical activity is used, then they use finger muscles and get tired to play. Also a 100% hit.
Well you do have the point but how about if we do speak or trying to elaborate about E-sports? How we do able to explain that on why they've called such thing?What about esport then?

Sports are physical activities. Video games don't make you get tired physically nor require strength or physicality. You can't get injured from playing video games.
The difference is clear.
.we only move our fingers when playing video games and one needs the skill to win. Sport is not for one person to participate in but in video game, only one person can play it. All these reasons put together makes video games not sport.You're wrong about your perspectives on video games being played with just fingers and also being a solo event.
While the definition of sports based on a quick google search is "competitive physical activities or games", there's a thing called E-sports right now, and until now, it's still debatable if E-sports can be considered a form of sport or not.What about esport then?

That depends on how you define your sports, whether for physical attributes or mental attributes.Indeed, mental and psychological exercises are just as important as the physical ones, when you participate on or watch sporting activities like soccer or basketball, it's considered more of a physical activity and less psychological, but when trying to consider video games, we can say they're more of a mental and psychological activity and it's just as important as the other forms of sports, so yeah, video gaming can indeed be considered to be a sporting activities.
For physical and mental attributes, I think video games fall into those attributes. Because one needs physical and mental demands to stay active for hours. That habit alone requires physical strength and mental alertness
That depends on how you define your sports, whether for physical attributes or mental attributes.Yeah one needed to be physically, mentally, psychologically fit in order to play video games. Now those games are recognized as e-sports and was also included in olympics. In addition to that Saudi Arabia is organizing/hosting e-sports world cup in july and many video games are included like Dota 2, counter strike, Fifa(EA sport), pubg etc.

Well, there are some institutions that consider E-sports as a form of sport already, so I guess we can change the definition of sport now? :D I'm a bit bias on this one because I'm a gamer and I spend hours playing online games.
If you base it on what you get from Google, it will certainly be inappropriate and give the impression that E-sports is not included, but perhaps the explanation now is different and seems even broader.While the definition of sports based on a quick google search is "competitive physical activities or games", there's a thing called E-sports right now, and until now, it's still debatable if E-sports can be considered a form of sport or not.What about esport then?

That's right, currently in Asian countries many people are using games as a sport, many people are participating and the prizes are very big. The process is needed to educate many people that some games can be used as sports because they regulate the strategies used to destroy enemies and achieve victory.If you base it on what you get from Google, it will certainly be inappropriate and give the impression that E-sports is not included, but perhaps the explanation now is different and seems even broader.While the definition of sports based on a quick google search is "competitive physical activities or games", there's a thing called E-sports right now, and until now, it's still debatable if E-sports can be considered a form of sport or not.What about esport then?

Because if we want to see in Southeast Asia, E-sports has entered the officially recognized sports calendar and has the same position as other sports. So you don't need to be discouraged that one day everyone will be able to accept it as a sport in general, it really needs widespread recognition.
You must have strategy and the ability to play the game to be able to win the match, so it is only natural that it can be categorized as a sport in general. In Asia, it has been recognized and has developed rapidly and the awards and prizes given are no joke. There are even certain brands that have become main sponsors, just like sports in general.That's right, currently in Asian countries many people are using games as a sport, many people are participating and the prizes are very big.

With that definition of sports, video games are not considered a sport because of their lack of physical activities but it is called E-sports. It is somewhat of a sport because the players use mental skills and strategies to win just like in chess but the difference is they are using digital devices. So why not use the term E-sports for video games
Everyone will certainly have perceptions that may be different and cannot be rejected. Maybe there are still some criteria that are lacking when it comes to sports.Up till now, there's still not a definite conclusion to whether Video games are actually considered part of sport or not as the matter is still being debated.While the definition of sports based on a quick google search is "competitive physical activities or games", there's a thing called E-sports right now, and until now, it's still debatable if E-sports can be considered a form of sport or not.What about esport then?

Although they both involve competition, strategy and skill which actually are the criterias that makes up sporting activities but what video gaming lacks is the level of physical skill needed in traditional sporting activities, whether the are the same or not, what we know is that they share more similarities than difference.
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.Obviously, video games are also considered sports games, but it is not the outdoor physical game, it is the Indoor e-sports games. I'm actually surprised why people still don't want to consider video games as sports. If you look around the world now eSports tournaments are held which in many cases exceed the prize budget of physical sports. If you notice a few days ago there was a PUBG game tournament, as well as many gaming competitive tournaments starting from Counter Strike. So Video games are also sport but it's the electrical-sports.
Yes its a different type or on how its been done which is really that totally opposite when it comes to those physical sports that we do know but since this do still involved that kind of competitiveness in between to those people who are involved then it would really be fit out on the criteria. We've seen that we do have e-sports that we do have now.Video games should not be a sport.

I believe the reason why video games are still not considered to be a form of sport by many and is still being debated is simply because video games don't require much of the physical involvement like the usual traditional sporting activities, even though most video games do share lots of similarities with the normal sporting activities.Video games should not be a sport.

Moreover, I think that just as football and cricket are two different sports, electrical sports are different from others. And I think it will be very popular in the future, although it is currently on its way to becoming quite popular.
The main purpose of sports is to provide thrill and fun to the fans and spectators and this is also the exact purpose for video games.
There are still many who debate whether it is included in the sports category or not. Everyone will always say that, but we have to refer to the big sports institutions who say whether it is worthy of being a sport or not. The result is that they have been recognized and competed in major events, so there is no need to doubt this.I believe the reason why video games are still not considered to be a form of sport by many and is still being debated is simply because video games don't require much of the physical involvement like the usual traditional sporting activities, even though most video games do share lots of similarities with the normal sporting activities.I won't gonna dis agree with your opinions but I want to say that most of the sports book supported casinos are already have the of for it and it is the e-sport of we can say that it is not considered as form of sports casinos.

I agree with you because playing online or offline games all day can refresh your hands but to keep them healthy you need some other kind of massage. I used to play a lot of free fire and pubg a few years back but it had a bad effect. I had a lot of pain in my fingers and vision problems. Moreover all this gaming puts a lot of pressure on the head, which has harmful effects. For the insurance of everything in our body, we should enroll in the insurance company.I think, apart from massage, of course, you should also limit playing, because if you do anything excessively it is not good for your health. There should be time to pause and rest to relax the whole body.
