First off, eSports has an s at the end becuase they're several sports, and thus not "a sport".

Second off, anything that incorporates random elements by design is by definition not a sport, so quite a few games played as eSports would fall to this.

Third off, while many of them could be labled sports the same way Chess could, they could also be labled "not very good" sports, the same way that ball game you made up with your cousin when you were seven could.
