The end of this video makes me teary-eyed. An interesting video, but I think you may have misunderstood me. I enjoy PBS programs such as Frontline and others. I even enjoy a little Downton Abbey (I know, it's not really a PBS show). My local PBS stations show some programs about "keeping your brain strong," how to be happy, personal motivation, and similar stuff. Every time I see them advertised, they sound like they belong on a regular broadcast station at 3 AM. | ||

I mean look at a Hockey Rink or a Baseball Field they all have thousands of adds. The most profound would be the super bowl. The entire SB is ads. They also earn money from merchandising and ticket sales too. | ||

It's such an irrelevant and weird thing to get so upset over. Late post, but I can pinpoint the exact details why the modern FGC resents the term "esports". http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/ms45u/i_dont_support_esports_please_stop_telling_me/ http://shoryuken.com/2011/11/28/dreamhack-showcases-ae-finals-starcraft-fans-show-their-appreciation/ tl;dr, SC2 fans showed a lot of disrespect during the SF4 finals of Dreamhack '11. Personally, I had a very high opinion of SC2 before all of this, as an old BW player from 2002-2004. This experience, however, soured my opinion of the SC2 scene and the whole "esports" movement they're trying to push forward. I'm sure a lot of people in the FGC hold similar opinions. | ||
