On (motor) racing.
There are many questionable things labelled a sport (snooker seems to get in at various points) but most types of motor racing do require people to be seriously fit to partake in it.
Anyway I can not find myself with any opinion worth expressing about this.

What about Dota (2) D:
League, and other MOBAs are fun to play and watch, but once you call certain games a sport, it'll just be opening a floodgate. First, LCS. Then, Starcraft and Dota.

I thought it was an eSport?
Why does it have to be a sport instead of an eSport, now every moba is going to have to be a sport.

I'm just as bothered by the fact that it's a video game as I am that it's League of Legends.
It's the fucking joke trash of eSports, and I don't even play MOBA's anymore. Shame that people caved in just because there were a lot of people playing it.

I read this article and I LoL'd in disbelief. Althuogh it seems like Video Game High School is closer than we think.
I can't say much on behalf of LoL as I don't know the game, but I don't see why the decision should be bad in any way. Not all sports are about physical activity (chess, anyone?), and LoL certainly isn't the first video game which is played at a very competitive edge.
Also: what the "having no life" has to do with anything? It's not just because you're a cyber athlete (yes, that's a term), you give up on everything else. Unless you're in the top brackets of the world competition. But hey...if you think their counterparts of 'real' sports have much of a life left, you'd be mistaken.
Flame: ask the same about starcraft in south korea and you'll be surprised about the answer.

K title'd a little bit misleading.
Just found out that the purpose of this is to allow foreign players to get VISAs and travel to tournaments like athletes can, it's not actually any real sort of athletic recognition. Update the OP please before more people start raging.
On another note, I hate the term eSports because of how butthurt people get because of the automatic connection/comparison they try to make with IRL sports.

well, for those uninformed, right now the world championship finals are being contested in LA... and if 2ndApex was right it does seems to fit that many players would need a visa for that
Video games can be competitive, that does not make them a "sport".
IMO (and actually, according to its very definition) you have to be doing something physically active for it to be considered a sport. Baseball is a sport, martial arts is a sport, driving your car is not a sport, much less sitting in a chair and staring at a monitor for hours on end.

“a human activity capable of achieving a result requiring physical exertion and/or physical skill, which, by its nature and organisation, is competitive and is generally accepted as being a sport.”
martial arts are not a sport, martial arts are a form of self defense or meditation if you do tai chi
unless you compete, in which case it could be classified as a sport
vidya games are esports
Given discus, javelin and similar such things also originate in war/martial techniques where do they sit?
Depending upon what you are doing playing with motors they can need just as much physical fitness and skill. On the flip side where does throwing the ball around, shooting hoops, kicking a ball around fall into this.
I always thought they still differentiated between sports and e-sports.
on the other hand, if chess can be some kind of sport, why not?

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
