I've never been interested in esports and I'm not sure I will. I love playing video games as much as anyone but I think my main motivation for playing is my competitive nature and I just like to play any sort of game whether it's board games, arcade games, or fantasy football, video games is easy because I can just play against the CPU or online.
eSports is something that I think is trying to fit in the athletic sport category but I just don't think I can ever give it that respect. No disrespect to those who are good enough to be apart of these competitions and make money off of it, that's great for them. I'm just old school I guess and it actually makes me cringe at the thought of people playing video games for a living, I think I just consider it nerd culture. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge nerd but I just can't accept this as a sport. I guess I have to look at it more as a comparison to a competitive chess player except there is actually more money to be earned it seems because of the following. I just dread the idea of kids pursuing the dream of playing video games instead of going into another field that could benefit society. Just my opinion for now.
