This is crazy. Sitting behind a computer screen and wasting your time playing video games is just ridiculous. Besides, calling that a sport is out of this world. A sport involves moving your body and getting outside to feel the grass under your feet. Nonsense
@TomNook.
I love games, but stuff like DOTA and LoL I just don't get. I like stories, progression and character development in my games.

@kcottone
DOTA has run million dollar tournaments for the past 14 years and mainstream media outlets like this are still cover e-sports like it's a new thing. Get with the times, old man!
