Discussion
frozen_goose: Chess players burn thousands of calories a day during tournaments, that's the stat people always throw out
geckonerd: Cheerleading not being a sport is the dumbest take. Competitive cheer is basically gymnastics where you also throw people in the air.
geckoranker: Cheese rolling is more of a sport than golf. People break bones every year.
alex.k3702: If darts and shooting count then esports counts. Same fine motor skill argument.
