      They are not stucked with the old days compared to Gen X's who are pretty close-minded to changes and immediately percieves "unconventional=wrong". Boomers might not understand the concept of it but they are pretty welcoming, and understands that it's how the new age does things.

    I understand people who don’t think it’s a sport but I cannot understand people who say it requires no skill or is easy. It’s like chess, no it’s not a physical thing but it is very mentally challenging and takes extreme skill to become a champion. Gaming requires strategy, hand eye coordination, quick reflexes, teamwork, and a lot of practice. It’s the same as a sport but it’s with a controller. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    does it need to be in the olympics? no.

      the Olympics were made as a sort of mock battle to keep the nations from getting into real fights. as warfare has evolved to the point that we fly drones around to shoot missiles I think that esports has a compelling case to be included in the Olympics.

      @@themajormagers in my personal opinion i think the olympics should stay "physical" sports only. because most major esports games you need strategic planning and reflexes (LoL, Dota, COD, overwatch, etc (these are just the well knows ones, i know there are more))
      so if they would do like you said and only include these types of games, than you need to include min. 3-5 games at that point.
      i do think they should make a "esports" type of olympic, like different Esports games played in a single arena. this way i think esports will get a better name across the people that look down upon esports or just don't know it

      Chess may be part of the list of sports in the Olympics, it has its own biennial tournament and was never part of the Olympic games. If you're talking about the proposal to put it in the 2024 Olympics, they didn't even make the shortlist and is increasingly unlikely. Unless some news happened that I missed.

    I hope people can understand that the few amount of elders that don't understand it being a sport likely haven't ever played videogames seriously, if at all. This goes even further when you consider 'PvE' versus 'PvP' and team-oriented games, which take the 'difficulty' of a game to new heights completely.
    The mental energy and coordination/stamina is something I barely relate to as someone who's gamed their entire life, but I appreciate some E-sports because I've played the games I watch. I'm not a pro, but I can appreciate the high level of play because I've played myself (again, at a lower level).
    Quite a few elders were pretty open-minded, though, so that was nice.

    6:20 "Not everyone can be a professional football player, but you can always spend a couple of bucks and buy a gaming unit." Do they really think that's all it takes to become a eports athlete? It takes years of practice and 10+ hours of training every day. You have to put it just as much if not more work as if you'd play football or basketball or any sport. Sure you don't get huge muscles and mega buffed but you have to train just as hard.
