LoL in Olympics?!?

So... apparently League of Legends is a sport. Like actually one that could be in the olympics as soon as League of Legends. It's pretty official. It's in Forbes.

So what's your opinion?

Me? League in the Olympics?! Like what! I don't really play that many video games, but I do know quite a few people who play (or have played) League. Still, I feel like the Olympics should be kept to games where you actually... well do stuff. However, it is true that League of Legends is competitive and requires team work. Plus apparently there's already this thing called E-sports that's basically the olympics of gaming.

The thing is,
Is it sad that the definition of sports has been stretched to include computer games, and that computer games made it into the olympics before chess, or checkers, or even dance?

Or is it just sports adjusting to our time period?
