video game should not be considered a sports because it is most times played at leisure hours and is has a less competitiveness without physican exertion.
Please search definition about sport before asking this.
video game can be regarded as a sport, the only attribute not present here is physical exertion.
but then looking at it critically, there is a form of physical exertion between the eyes and the hand which enables a quick eye-to-hand response and reaction

I think yes. It's like chess, which also doesn't require any physical activity
Of course not! When you actually do sports, you need to focus on sports. Your eyes get tired already from screen after using computer and phone all day long!
Before saying something please know the origin and meaning of sport

So video games do this role perfectly

I don't think that it should. Sports are good for educational purposes as well as your health and socialization. E-sports are competitive rubbish. Today children have wrong idols.
Yes Of course even though it's not an physical like others sports but in video games your body and mind it's a weapon. Esports they considered as a sports
Video games should not be a sport. First sport require physical activity, moving your hand all day and starring at a screen is not a sport.
Yes indeed, you can call it a sport same as chess
only dota. 
yes,because your mind is thingking to strategy from vidoe game...
Actually, in the present, video games are considered as a sports. They called it "E-sports". In this world of innovation, the thing in the environment are changing also. In the field of technologies, those are the things that improving. E-sports is already famous all over the world. Example of these is playing DOTA 2 and League of Legends. As of now, one of the reason why the world is united is the E-sports. Competing each other and having a good time.
I personally never support this.
I believe video games are just for leisure and entertainment. I can't really, personally, consider them as sports.
It can't be considered as sport,it's silly to equate it with football,basketbal and etc. Only compiting in a real world can be considered as a soprt.
never, because video game is not a real soprt.
Definetely a sport
It’s already a sport. They consider to put esports in Olympic Games. I think after 8 years it’s gonna be a Olympic sport. Fingers cross, easy medals for Asian country’s.
