Poker is not a sport either, no matter what ESPN tells you.
Simple rule of thumb: if you can smoke a cigar while doing an activity, that activity is not a sport.
I'm not detracting from video games. I think the idea of professional gaming is a bit silly, but I also think the WWE is silly and plenty enough people like that (also not a sport, but much closer). I'm just saying that sports require exertion. Clicking a mouse is not exertion.
