Definitely a sport. Esport pro players have physical and cognitive abilities that most of us could only dream of. They train hard every day and it's a strain on their body and mind. To call it not a sport is devaluing all their effort and superior physical and mental abilities.
It's like saying football players only walk around and tap a ball with their feet or 100m sprinters only run a straight line for a few seconds. Yes, we all can do that, but never on a professional level because we do not possess their physical abilities or their determination. Same goes for esport.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
