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.

We here at Riot have heard you so we are changing it to E$port$.
Sport - 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.
Chess 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
I don't watch it. Not enough Gems.
