Olympic gamers aren't athletes and gaming should not be an Olympic sport.

I feel this way for a very simple reason. Perspective. Imagine being, for example, an Olympic gymnast. Imagine getting up in the wee hours of the morning and training and working hard. Working your body to its limit. Sweating, aching, risking or even seeing injury. Straining for hours on end a day to perfect that routine and develop the ideal physique for it. Pushing yourself as hard as you can until you just want to give up because of the pain, but you persevere because you want to have your chance to complete in the Olympics, only to find that some average kid is going to have his time in the Olympics and a shot at an Olympic medal all because he plays Overwatch for 6 hours a day. That doesn't seem fair to me.
