I'm not sure I really agree on a minor point here. I think you're mostly right, but I don't see why we shouldn't integrate low impact sports into the general definition of sports, and simply recognise them as a low impact, low physical exertion subcategory. I don't think its much of an argument to redefine a term like sports in order to exclude a thing that has all the qualifying criteria but is applying them in a new fashion.


I don't see a stigma to the word eSports. I think its a fine name for them, I just think they should be thought of as a subsection of traditional sports rather than a separate thing entirely.
