If professional Poker is a sport then Shouldn't eSports be considered a sport?

You do know that poker is refered as sport because gambling is such a bad word to use. It is illegal for you to play at home, isn't it?

After huge debates, they decided to call it that. But no , poker isn't a sport. 

......I apologize before hand but who decided what wasn't a sport and what is. You might not consider it one but others do.
