    Professional, maybe by the definition this thread seems to prefer. Athletes, no.

      What’s your criteria for sport? what’s Golf? Darts? Bowling? Curling? Archery?

      Is it that you have to break a sweat? I guess talking to girls makes you an athlete then?

        “Sport” is defined as athletic activity, and “athlete/athletic” refers to physical exercise, agility, stamina, and strength. So no, playing a video game doesn’t count.

        If girls make you sweat, good for you. Sex could arguably be athletic, depending on what you get up to.

      Except the person in question didn’t call gamers athletes but instead professional.

      I would also count athlete a subset of professional as well.

        I’m not the one who brought athletics into this. I’m just following the conversation. But no, “esports” do not meet the definition of “sport.”
