Professional sports involve physical parameters that very few are born with, and even then STILL cant make it to the big leagues despite that. Pro gamers are skilled, but they are not exceptional in mind or body. I even find it kind of insulting that some people want to compare someone who pushes keys for untold hours a day to someone who is literally the strongest iteration of physicality humanity can offer.

By your criteria, professional go and chess players have no merit because the pieces they play with don't weigh 100Ibs each... -___-

Im sorry I wasnt clear with the distinction. I meant to include chess and the like with my statement on exceptional minds. I can see how people thought I was saying only physical sportsmen were smart and strong, but that wasnt my intention.
