As for Gears, no, I wouldn't consider them an amateur sportsman any more than I would consider friends playing football in the park amateur sportsmen. Their activity involves no inherent competition or reward, no necessary physical conditioning or training, and there is no reward for victory. According to the definition of athletics I posted before, and its latin root, one or all of those things must be necessary to be a sport. They're a hobbyist. I would consider them an amateur sportsman if they began to look for a local team or something of the kind however, because then the element of competition comes in and they may be playing for a local league rather than simply for their own amusement. Obviously with Gears, thats not possible because there is no wider competitive angle. With an FPS or RTS however, where online play is integral and therefore competition with others is also integral, then sure, I could consider an amateur status there. Quote:
Even then, I point again to the fact the olympic committee does classify many sports with low physical but high dexterity requirements as legitimate sports. Including Chess.

Except that no definition of sport defines that as meaning strenuous physical activity, and every definition I can find lists physical activity alongside the concept of dexterity or skill.
There is no definition of sports or athletics that states solely that a sport must require strenuous rather than simply practiced physical activity.
