Haven't watched much other than the USA v. Ghana and France v. Honduras games but they've both been pretty entertaining.

2. Football (i.e. Soccer)

I'd count the inevitable all-nighters, mental training, and pressing 9000 keys in 1/10 of a millisecond (may be slightly exaggerated unless its Starcraft) as physical exertion. You're physically exerting yourself to do something. You also need a lot of skill to play them (can confirm, suck at Starcraft, CS : GO, League, DOTA, etc.) and these games have communities that form teams that compete against each other, for the entertainment of others.
It doesn't say how one is exerted.

so i guess this makes stenographers athletes of the courtroom then as they physically exert themselves every day in court
but it's more like golf because it's just them beating their own scores

If they're competing against other stenographers then sure.
