While that may be, language works best when it evolves organically. The word e-sports is already firmly rooted into modern culture and trying to replace it with something else now isn't going to work. The whole shebang is increasingly becoming acknowledged more and more as a sports industry, the players as athletes, and such the definition of the word "sport" will change over time to suit the new world.

I agree - forcing language never ends well, the case in point being, once again, the French actively suppressing organic growth (I feel like I'm picking on them now.) Which is why I don't think we should go and forcibly change it now, as it's far too late, but reserve my God-given right to dislike it, to believe it would have been better to just have come up with a new word (as over-broadening of a word's definition tends to render the word null, as it doesn't actually describe anything anymore), and to moan about it on the internet.
