What you're talking about is "Here is the arbitrary distinction I have made on what I choose to call a sport."
What I am saying is "On what grounds have you made that distinction? You seem to have pulled this bizarre method of defining sports completely out of your backside, so its a way of defining sports that is applicable to you, and only you, and that just isn't good enough for me to consider it a point or an argument."
If we were going to make people's gut feelings, devoid of rationale, admissable as a definition of sport, then everyone is right. But you're arguing that for some reason, what you think specifically disqualifies eSports from being sports.
What about your distinction isn't arbitrary? What is it about the difference you're highlighting, that actually means something?
