Are e-sports a sport?

Like chess and football, one practices, competes, gets coaching, follow rules, there is a clear winner...

To be considered a sport, do you need to sweat during the activity?  If so, why is golf a sport?

If e-sports are not a sport, what is a close comparison?

Rifle is the sport with the fewest number of NCAA varsity teams, 50. There are 13 in Division III, apparently, three men, three women and seven co-ed.  Including Birmngham-Southern.

Next lowest in Division III is gymnastics: 17 teams, 15 women's and two men's.

There are 5 D3 schools which sponsor bowling plus 15 D2's and 28 D1's for 48 total (women's) teams.

Oh them too. They didn't have any men's teams, so I missed it. :)

SOCCER???? The only thing that can put a human to sleep faster than watching a soccer game is talking about one. Mountain climbing, cliff diving, parasailing, surfing, scuba diving, bungee jumping, even 40 year old reruns of I've Got a Secret--but no soccer.

Then it will be less expensive than your next prescription for Lunesta or Ambien! ;D

Yea, there will be some AARP members voting for drugs.

Understand the game and what's behind it.  I love it, esp. the World Cup.

well it does stop everytime the ball goes out of bounds or hits the floor lol. but it is a pretty fun sport to watch in person. on tv, regular volleyball is rather boring, but beach volleyball on TV is fun to watch regardless of the gender participating (obviously female beach volleyball is better, but male beach volleyball can be pretty fun to watch).

but does any school have a varsity HANDBALL team? i used to have to play that in middle school and that was one of the most fun sports i've ever played! basketball, baseball, soccer, handball, table tennis, and beach volleyball (was that in the olympics? i cant remember) are about the only olympic sports i watched in the last summer olympics. i recommend you people to see if a local YMCA or some toher organization or something has a handball league or some other way of trying out handball.

I agree.  Some schools focus on the big four:

men -- basketball, football
women -- basketball, volleyball

I'd be nice to have the volleyball chat to go along with the other three.
