Honestly I agree. I'd put it in the same realm as chess. Although, I do know people who consider chess a sport.
To me, "Sport" is an athletic competition by definition.
The reason why people want it to be considered a sport is for travel reasons. If there's a competition in a different country, the requirements to get in aren't as much.
There's been a few times that people couldn't get to a tournament just because their visa was denied, and a sports visa would have worked.
