Chess should be in the next Olympics.


It’s a nice idea, but modern day olympics is more about selling advertising and various social agendas than true competition.

It's not a physical sport . . .
It is a sport. Also, it’s called the Olympic Games, not Olympic Sports.

literally every sport (which chess is not, but that's a whole other argument) in the olympics involves a lot of physical action. two people sitting at a board barely moving their hands does not belong in the olympics

False. Shooting is in the Olympics. Years ago a shooter from my country did quite well. He was fat, rocking that dad body. Archery also does not involve, "a lot of physical action".

well yes, some of the olympic sports do not have that much physical action. but they still have an important physical aspect. in chess, you are deciding which moves to make with your mind. in shooting and archery, you still have to use your arms to aim. you can play chess by just calling out the moves and barely moving a muscle. but in shooting this is not possible, you still have to move around a little.
