I wrote an article about this not too long ago. When you call gaming a sport, you invite comparisons to other sorts, which will invite negative comparisons. It's like if someone ordered a pizza, and you gave them a slice of cheesecake. They both may be great, and they both involve a lot of the same things, but they are fundamentally different. So, if someone tried to give you a slice of cheesecake and told you it was pizza, you'd be confused and probably annoyed.
But if you went up to someone who you know likes Pizza and said "Hey you want to try this thing called cheesecake?" They'd probably be willing to give it a shot, and might like it.
