Because players need visas.

I was hoping most of you guys would read the article and not the click bait title and the Too Long; Did not Read!, but here's what I'm saying:

eSports are not supposed to be sports, as the definition of sports requires physical activities, and moving your hands don't necessarily count in most cases (although it can be deeply argued compared to a sport like archery, where you basically use your hands and arms, but that's not the point.)

I'm saying for it to be treated such as a sport, even when you do have an athlete visa. They deny it as esports does not equal to the real definition of sports. Think of it this way: a chess tournament.

Most people from all over the world can go and compete in other states for a chess tournament without denial, and most games that are considered eSports, are just like chess: mentally taxing. You don't autopilot in neither chess nor esports, you have to consider your options, and in those options there comes branches of other possibilities or punishes. They both, but more specifically esports, revolve around manipulating and conditioning your opponent to do things that they think might be safe, but will leave them in a checkmate or a loss.

Too Long; Did not Read! chess = esports, not a sport but basically interpreted as a competition or it has a competitive aspect to it like sports, but again, not sports.

just pay attention to this Too Long; Did not Read! because my points aren't described enough and unorganized.
