So apparently ESPN2 aired a Heroes of the Storm tournament over the weekend. (WTF is HotS?)

Anyway, Colin Cowherd declared he'd quit if he was told to cover eSports. A Yahoo commentator suggests he not waste time and resign now. I like Cowherd and realize he's a shock jock, but I agree with the article. eSports are a part of sports' future.

Hey I clicked on this one.

Even though I can fully understand what is going on, I still don't take the time to watch LoL tournies, or anything. Just no time and always 3 other things I'd rather be doing.

I'm not sure EPSN is the right forum for esports. I would think the viewership for esports are much more likely to be watching on Twitch than ESPN.

Competition is competition.

The mainstream doesn't watch Twitch. Thus, I think ESPN is perfect to begin introducing competitive gaming to the masses. Ask poker.

Fair enough.

But I'm not sure the masses will have enough interest to carry the ratings.

Olympics chief says video games are too violent for the Olympics.

I get that, I do. However, it's a really easy problem to fix. eSports are the future and trying to deny them is ridiculous.
