Coaches often encourage their athletes to “go back to the basics” and “focus on the fundamentals.” It is a common universal practice in sports.
That same practice can be applied to crafting an argument, as we dissect exactly what a sport is. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a sport is defined as “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.”
While it is not hard to see how this definition could fit into esports, it is by no means a perfect fit.
