A Sub category has to, by definition, contain ALL the aspects of the parent group. We've argued over and over that eSports don't require the same level of fitness as the set of "games" that most people will agree are "Sports". It would be more true to say that "Sports" under this same majority-definition, are a subcategory of Professionally-Played Games, which is why I am saying it would be better to give a term to define Professionally-played games, rather than applying yet another ambiguous and confusing definition to the already over-defined "Sport".
