playing video games is not a sport. There is nothing athletic about it.

Seems to fit this definition.

except the physical exertion part. If video games are a sport, chess should be a sport, pool should be a sport. Poker should be a sport.

Chess is a sport in the eyes of many people.

Not in mine. It is a great game and I love it and it requires great skill and intelligence, but it is not a sport.

Regardless, video games, at least the ones that have a serious competitive community, are much more physical than chess.

Please explain how.

For the record, I’m not being fully serious, just playing devil’s advocate.

oh.
