Why ESPN Is Wrong About eSports
Fatal Hero: I’m sure you’ve already heard that ESPN top-dog John Skipper denies that eSports are any type of sport. He says this just after his own channel televised DOTA 2’s The International and amid rumors that League of Legends was looking to follow suit. He instead suggests that the whole thing is just “a competition” and how he’s “mostly interested in doing real sports.” It’s sad to see because unfortunately, Skipper seems to miss what makes eSports its own legitimate field.
