I have played in hundreds of chess tournaments, several national. I don't consider it a sport at all. Just like I don't consider gaming a sport. Gaming is gaming. And I don't say fans of either are lazy, because a preference in what to watch on tv is not enough information to determine if the person is lazy. Grow up and stop making weird irrelevant comparisons to try to improve/diminish the view of something you do/don't like.
You know, most of you will not bother to read this, and for your sake you probably shouldn't. Most of you will just scroll right on past this and it will be totally irrelevant to you, some might even be offended. However, I just wanted to let you know that I have completely wasted your time.
I don't think either counts as a sport, they're competetive games. But, being competetive, I think it's perfectly normal for them to have fans and an audience, just like any entertainment that gets people involved by having them pick a side.
