Decline e'Sports' now challenging mainstream sports

[cretin]

e-sports is not even formula 1 level for the very same reasons its not on the level of any actual sport. Its. Not. Real. It involves zero mastery over the physical world, and the athlete is at no risk of hurting himself, ever.

If it is okay to spend 5h on a sunday afternoon watching which engineering team cheated against the official rules the most effective (a.k.a. formula one) and call that a sport, I'm totally fine with people watching kids playing video games on a competitive level and call it a sport, too.

A race is 2 hours long at max, just sayin'.

It begins... again

No Olympics this year, but we still get our seasonal rush of excitement.

I just don't get the appeal of watching someone play a game instead of playing it myself.

That applies to all sports then I hope.

I didn't read the thread, but I think [}>they<{] are doing this intentionally. It is why they do not care about the demise of the NFL and such which they are working hard for.

[}>They<{] want people with less physical fitness doing sports that [}>they<{] can control almost completely.

With all the high tech and safety measures F1 cars have today, neither do F1 pilots really
Well not to the extent pilots back in Senna's day had too, let alone in the sport's early days

No, they call them drivers officially. Although looking at the instruments in an F1, they could call them pilots.

Term loses a lot of meaning when you realize that most of them do less than bus drivers due to autopilot tech.
