MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Professional video gaming should be considered a sport because it shares many characteristics with other sports.

Which answer is the BEST evidence to support this claim?

Competitive video gaming occurs in a similar atmosphere to other sports: a large arena with screaming fans.

Sociology professor Carly Jones notes, "The definition of a sport has always been up for debate. Is chess a sport? Is dance a sport? People often disagree."

Sports journalist Andrew Owens argues, "Professional gaming doesn't require physical contact or ability. Sports are, and always have been, physical."

All of the above.
