There's still a colossal difference between the guy aiming to be the best Olympic swimmer and the guy who can work the keyboard and mouse fastest. I don't care about the Olympics or esports, but I think they should stay divided. "I won an Olympic gold medal at age 16 playing League of Legends (will be something different by then)" is just all kinds of odd. How about the difference between winning an Olympic gold at age 16 for being able to shoot an air pistol good It's difficult for me to think of that as a sport too. I don't really know the history of Olympic shooting or how long it has been around, but I'd guess they did this as an upgraded form of archery which has been around for a long time I think? I'd be less surprised at them wanting to add NASCAR racing to the Olympics than video games. <cite>swordz9 posted [p:884484308] in Olympics c...
