eSports — Soon bigger than real sports?

[Xant]

I was talking about real sports obviously, not about some """""""""""""""""""sport"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" where you get on a piece of wood and stand on it while going downhill

Boxing = hitting a bag of meat with leather gloves.

What do the Xant consider as "real sports"  :

[Xant]

Running, obviously.

[[ptx]]

Running - something almost everyone learns before they can even speak.

[IR_Kuoin]

Running is just moving your legs, not a sport.

[Xant]

Aah, Kuoin-san, you much humor.

different things for different people i guess You cant understand why most people love football and get excited and have the we thing and i would say the large majority of the population say the same about e-sports. It might be big for you but if you stop 100 random people in a street (one that isn't in a uni or something) then you might get 1 who even knows what LoL or Dota is (if you grab a few youngsters i guess it might be higher)

That will prolly change for sure but i have my doubts that it will ever be big in England at least.


Call of Duty well now thats a different story most people know what that is at least CoD and BF is pretty mainstream and appeals to the casuals and even most of my mates who love football etc play CoD (and fifa)

But the "we" thing is still completely retarded ö_ö

its complicated people identify with their football clubs. When England or Arsenal play it will always be we sucked etc its just how you say it. without the WE part no one would really care who wins or loses ^^ people get depressed and happy and the country goes mental if they win the world cup. You can compare it to fanboys being upset if say navi lost and try to defend them but more global <3

Guess I'll never understand. It's stupidity either way.
