discuss TCG as a sport

[Oshawott]

Do you consider Pokemon Trading Card Game as a sport?

Recently, I picked up a Pokemon TCG set and trying to figure out how to play it, but while doing my Google search about it, I found out that the Pokemon TCG are conducted world over as a tournament are even live streamed. Then it got me thinking, are trading card games even considered as a sport?

My take is that if e-games are considered as a sport, then why not TCGs?

Esports are certainly sports.

The question is not about E-Sports.

The question is if Pokemon TCG or any other TCG can be considered as a sport? E -spots is definitely sports and everyone has agreed to it, but the policy about TCG is still yet to be finalized.
