NO IT IS NOT! A SPORT IS A PHYSICAL GAME, IF THERE IS ANY PART OF CHESS THAT IS PHYSICAL, THEN PLEASE TELL ME!
This is exactly why I made this forum. Because some people still think it isn't a sport.

Then why does the majority of the chess.com community believe that chess is a sport? What do they misunderstand?

I would argue a sport requires skill and a medium through which that skill can be challenged by others alike.

You could also argue that chess does require physical exertion, even if the physical aspect of chess isn't a measure of the skill of the player
ok i need to show you something
Like all sports, chess has a defined set of rules and etiquettes. The International Chess Federation serves as the governing body of the sport of chess, and it regulates all international chess competitions. Additionally, the International Olympic Committee considers chess to be a sport.

You should change the petition for Chess.com to consider it a violation of the Chess.com Sportsmanship agreement to not agree it is a sport or at least to consider it a taboo topic like cheating and move these insipid opinions to the non public forums like cheating. These disloyal f***s are not promoting productive discussion on this site just like cheating accusations.

Dude, stop. You obviously think it's a sport because you don't respect viewpoints different than your own...
