But these are the new 'sports' for the ever increasing lazies in today's society. Not many participate in physical activity or sports as they once did pre video/computer games.

Precisely for the reason I gave. Lazy people want to think of it as a sport (which you play and/or observe).

You have to be pretty damn fast to even compete against good people in FPS's. It all depends on what a person's definition of sport is. Personally, I don't find it interesting to watch, but I don't assume people who do watch are lazy.
