I've been to LoL HQ and talked to the founders. The offices were fairly dungeon-esque (to be fair I mostly saw the lower levels), but all the employees seemed to be having a blast. I asked one of the founders about LoL being considered a sport, and he argued fairly aggressively in favor of it. He asked me if I considered NASCAR a sport. I said no, and the conversation ended there.
I never considered car racing much of a sport until I drove an indy style car with Mario Andretti Racing Experience. 8 minutes on the track driving 160mph with about 6-7 other cars was mentally and physically exhausting. Had an absolute blast and afterwards a much greater respect for car racing.
