Well, first I would have to decide what you are defining "sports" as. And I didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if you have done that already.
So, i'll put it this way. If you are talking about the competitive / brain teasing / adrenaline increasing activities type of sports, than yes...I would agree that eSports is considered a sport.
If however you're going by the traditional definition of a sport where people need to be running around inside of a gym or outside and sweating and having aching muscles, than no...I would not count eSports a sport. Same as I wouldn't count competitive gaming a real sport.
