oh well I think a sport is when people compete for something using physics and their own physical strength

Is a disabled superior because he has nano robot legs?

When I was boksing, I had to make sure I was well positioned and look opponents moves to kinda dance and counter and stay on my mind, after a few pumches on me ... I can assure you, the boksing was worse as example.

Same goes for illness, is it physical? You will get mental problems and vice versa that create on it's turn for mental a physical one that makes another mental one from where one starts.

Try play chess with a hangover

bro there's a difference between physical and mental

just cuz an illness makes you physically weak and mentally weak does not mean your physical strength is the same as your mental strength

You'll argue the physical aspect, correct. Same goes for mental. Imagine I coward myself in the corner?

okay yeah you're right that mental strength is a part of sports. I play baseball and you have to stay extremely focused for hours at time in order to win. However, you're just avoiding the argument. Just because other games require mental strength does not mean that a sport can be made out of a game that requires mental strength.

If a -> b & c, and b -> a, does not mean c -> a

There is no way body work without mind and vice versa and that is more on mind about chess towards football or boks.
