摘要
This essay seeks to critically analyze the term sport from its definition and characteristics. Therefore, it is the highly controversial issue of whether electronic sports (e-sports) could be part of the concept of sport. Based on this idea, the work intends to provoke reflection and debate on the consistency, clarity, and precision of the term sport. As conclusion, it is argued that e-sports could be considered sports according to the current definition of the term, although the most relevant conclusion is that the concept of sport needs a new definition where its basic characteristics are clarified in the current context.
