I go to ESPN.com to read up about the Steelers. Not everyone lives in your imaginary 'I must live with one interest and it will characteristically define me' world. But I guess you're just an arrogant nerd who will never admit that people who like sports are intelligent enough to comprehend your infinitely complex video game, right? I don't mean that seriously, but stereotypes work both ways. It doesn't even matter. The article is on ESPN's videogames blog. Which basically means no one but people who already follow videogames will see it. I can't even figure out how to get to the videogames blog from the main ESPN page to be honest. You guys are just arguing about nothing. | ||

Around 2000, ESPN actually televised professional Magic: The Gathering matches. This was when Jon Finkel, an American player, was #1. Right after Jon lost this status to Kai Budde, viewership dropped and ESPN eventually pulled out. The general American public wants to see American heroes, unfortunately. Want another example? Golf before Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Maybe ESPORTS will be mainstream in 20 years, but not this generation. =( | ||
