Can we change the name from Esports to something else?
I mean, it's not really a sport. Like, at all. Should just change the name to competitive video game playing or something.

haxxorz2 votesSport - noun 1.) an activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
I would venture to say playing any video game at a high level requires skill and is of a competitive nature, don't you? But besides that esports is not inclusive only to league of legends. There are many, many games included under that name, and for good reason. Simply changing what league of legends players call competitive play won't change what esports are.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesWhere you find that at? Webster and dictionary.com have "physical activity" or "athletic activity". I would say they do take a lot of skill and are competitive...but I haven't exactly heard people call poker a sport, and it takes skill and is competitive.
Abominate1 votesChess was an Olympic sport (I don't think it still is because TBH who cares about chess)
It shows that a sport isn't defined by just physically capabilities though, and league can be considered as much of a sport as chess
PDE5 Inhib1 votesAh yes, but chess is classified as a "mind sport". I would be fine with League being classified as that.
"E-MindSports"
