I'd argue that gaming should be given higher esteem than sports (and I played soccer, football, and baseball growing up). Only a very select portion of the population ever has a chance to be a professional "normal" sport player because of the required physical attributes, but anyone and everyone can compete when it comes to games because the vast majority of the skill is mental.

Plus games require a high degree of precision and coordination - as you've mentioned bowling does. A lot of professional gamers are more athletic than you seem to give them credit for. The stereotype of professional gamers being basement dwelling pimple nerds was dispelled long ago - and many teams require that their players work out to stay in some semblance of physical shape because it has been proven that being in shape physically increases your ability to perform mentally. Anyways... it is really cool that gaming is on ESPN. Don't like it? Don't watch it.

Nah man, CoD 4 is the only great CoD (maybe Waw and Blops 1 are good too tho)
