Abstract
The article takes the present debate about eSports as the occasion and material to discuss the more general problem of how to articulate a basic understanding of sports and how to bring different basic understandings into a discussion. Starting with the analysis of the present debate, the article suggests making a sharp distinction between the determination of properties of sports and the plea to a distinct underlying understanding of sports. The benefit is the methodical control of the debate due to the plea to the so-called basic ideas of human cultural practices and a comparison between them. Therefore, it is necessary to give a short sketch of the concept of cultural practice.
