ESports' inclusion as a medal event at the Hangzhou Asian Games was hailed as a landmark, but out of nearly 500 gamers for what is supposed to be a mixed-sex competition, just eight are women.

    In that I’m consistent: chess isn’t a sport either.

    The thing is chess IS a sport, that’s the fact, like it or not.

      It’s not a fact. Gravity is fact. Chess being declared a sport by a bunch of old men, is widely accepted opinion.

          Lol, I state that seeing chess as a sport is relative, and all you read is “he holds the absolute truth”. Quite ironic.

            fact: a piece of information presented as having objective reality

            Chess has tournament, leagues, championships, federation and all that like other sports and is accepted by the society (except for you, it seems) as an sport, so the objective reality is chess is a sport. That’s the reality you live in, like it or not.
