Remember that e-sports are broadcast (or have been broadcast) all over ESPN, so I suppose that would mean that the definition of sport really doesn't have much to do with the physical side of it, it just needs competition behind it. If it has an organised competetive aspect, it can be a sport?
I wonder if ESPN could be talked into streaming the long running sport of chess, if that's the case. Maybe backgammon XD
