Consider this claim: Professional video gaming should be considered a sport because it shares many characteristics with other sports. Which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? Sociology professor Kate Oliver notes, "The definition of a sport has always been up for debate . Is chess a sport?Is dance a sport?This is something people have always disagreed about." According to Bill Bradley,a sports journalist,"Professional gaming doesn't require physical ability or contact. Sports are, and always have been, physical," Competitive video gaming often occurs in an atmosphere similar to that of other major sports: a large arena with cheering fans and millions of dollars on the table.
