Better than dressage, skateboarding or pistol shooting  

 

But rifle and shot gun are okay?

Especially shotgun and even more so double trap, you know, where it's like BOOM..BOOM and before you can blink they've shot down two semi-randomly moving targets somewhere in the air

Maybe people will have to reconsider their definition of sport.

When does something become a sport? In my opinion if you do it competitively, on the highest level. That's just what it is.

In contrast to East Asia and North America though, Europe is still a bit conservative when it comes to gaming.

Have you ever watched the best players in the world compete against each other in things like Starcraft?  

 

That seems a whole lot more sporty and 'active' than certain Olympic shooting events

I watched only some CS tournament  I like it but hey, it can't become an olympic sport..

Btw, Asian Games just removed surfing and skateboarding in 2022 and sambo and cricket in 2018... so, it's better have esport than this?

Yes, sport is the thing that prevents many children from staring at their computer screen 24/7.

Asian Games will also have jet ski in 2018.

Better e-sports than surfing or skateboarding? Yep, definitely  

 

Unless there's a skateboarding event where the only goal is to be as fast as possible, in that case I would prefer that one

I'm honestly convinced that's not what defined 'sports' when the modern Olympics started
