I think a better example might be something that changes the game as a whole. IE. The NBA swoops in and says "let's make basketballs a little bit bigger for a while and if we notice any significant issues we all revert the change." They simply couldn't get away with something like that however game devs have the power to do game breaking things all the time.

Uh... perhaps you are unaware of the ABA. Where they made basketballs a little bit smaller for awhile and changed the color. Basketball as a whole watched to see if there were any significant issues and then reverted the change. Or the change in the distance of the three-point-line. Or the rapidly-changing refereeing standards. Or the implementation of instant replay call reviews (major mistake). Or... etc., etc.

For those who doesn't think Esport is a sport, that's because you don't know the correct definition of sport.
Wiki:
*Sport (or sports) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity (check) which,[1] through casual or organised participation, (check) aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability (check) and skills (check) while providing entertainment to participants (check), and in some cases, spectators. (check)[2] Hundreds of sports exist, (check) from those requiring only two participants, (check) through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams (check) or competing as individuals. (check)
Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism (check) or physical dexterity, (check)

Physical activities: as in any body movement that works your muscles and requires more energy than resting. (check)

One bloop I read. Cat5e Cables? I would assume they are using Cat 6 cables at this point. In the house. I am not sure if the houses use Fiber, or Business Cable. Either way, Cat 6 is cheap and better for connectivity. XD

No, not really. A lot of that stuff he just made up. Also, I am not sure how you "monopolize the few existing sponsors", unless we assume they are stealing them form other teams. And that seems pretty dumb.

Of course they can. They change rules all the time to make the game better or avoid specific things that they don't like seeing. Or they freak out like the NHL and just shut down the whole league because they don't like the way everyone is getting paid. Then no one plays at all.

Yes, let's judge things by excerpts and then post angry comments about articles we didn't read.
This is surely how constructive discussion works.
