In the article I consider the question whether the modern theory of sport is helpful in analysing the phenomenon of e-sport. I analyze e-sport in the context of the definitions of sport that can be found in proper literature; in this way I demonstrate that e-sport fulfills all the criteria of a sport. This is followed by an outline of what results of sports theory are useful to theoreticians and practitioners of e-sport. Some definitions are suggested as well.
The article is a defense of my definition of lie from my paper W sprawie pojęcia kłamstwa. Tomasz A. Puczyłowski in his article O celowości kłamstwa claims that my definition is too wide, because it allows some non-verbal acts of communication as lies, and too narrow, because someone can lie without having an intention to deceive anybody. I argue that Puczyłowski’s objections are based on two false premises: (1) we cannot express the statements non-verbally; (2) if something is impossible for us, we have no intention of doing that.
