This is pretty much what my position has been since the beginning. I even mentioned subcategories some pages back with exactly this intent. I don't even view it as a compromise.

I view the fact it is being CONSIDERED a compromise, more as proof that people have been, intentionally or unintentionally, assuming incorrect things about my stance, such as the repeated statements and appeals to ridicule based around some sort of bizarre assumption that I want gym teachers and fitness instructors to start bringing in eSports curriculum. I have never argued this, and I challenge anyone here to point out where I have ever implied that eSports is a replacement for exercise, or where I have ever argued it should be taught as a physical education. I eagerly await the lack of a response.
