discuss Can esports athletes be considered "real" athletes?

[Unvarnished]

It's great to talk about the professional video gamers regarding their place in the field of sport competition. Personally, I believe that the virtual sport competitors should be seen as real athletes. This is because their gaming matches the demand similar to the expertise of the physical athletes. Do you believe this?

Competitive video game professionals based on my own opinion are the same as those of the amateur sports competitors and professional athletes. I understand the demanding nature of eSports based on my experience in gaming. Professional gamers also devote themselves to extensive training sessions, which is why they should be considered real athletes.

The esports athletes do not measure up to traditional athletes based on standards. The video gaming professionals do not have the physical abilities required to match the traditional sports. This is because they do nothing physical except sitting down in front of the screen.

Even if they are not physically running or jumping, esports players are athletes in their own rights. Like other athletes, they dedicate many hours to training and may even have coaches. In addition, the team work and strength required in esports are similar to those required in physical sports.
