    mkg335:

    The set "games" includes all sports.  The set "sports" does not include all games.

    ...Skiing is a sport, for example, but not necessarily a game.  Then again, it's included in the Olympic games.

    Ambiguity at it's finest, Mark.

    I'd lay odds you taught Philosophy 101.   LOL

    Some people consider shooting deer a sport but when you eat it it's game, go figure.

    The World Cyber Games (WCG) was an international competitive video-gaming (e-sports) event operated by South Korean company World Cyber Games Inc.,[1] and sponsored by Samsung Electronics and Microsoft. WCG events attempted to emulate a traditional sporting tournament, such as the Olympic Games; events included an official opening ceremony, and players from various countries competing for gold, silver and bronze medals. The official motto of WCG was "Beyond the Game", which is also the title of a documentary about e-sports.[2]

    And there we have it, Craig's nailed it.

    I can now say I'm an eSportsman, that'll do for me!

    LMAO...Good one, Paul.

    That brings me to this question. Is Cow Tipping a "sport" or "game"?
