Yes sports in the Paralympics do count as sports because they derive from classic sports. But what were you trying to imply by your question? That professional gamers are all disabled and still deserve to be classed as athletes or something else?

I have a fücked up circle of friends. If you're fishing for a serious answer, though, then no, I don't consider eSports to be real sports. Professional gamers and athletes are pretty far apart, at least in my opinion.
