I play both, but I see a subset of each community scoffing at the other. Some gamers hate sports and some sports fans hate gamers. I mean they're both for fun and both for competition, I never understood why the medium causes so much of a rift

And Chad and Eugene could actually be best friends if they looked at the common ground they have and stopped being jealous of each other

I don't think people have frowned upon D&D since like the early 90s

Maybe not on the internet. At work I get ripped all the time for it. I still play fantasy with them though. When I'm on a campaign and we take a break and I'm trying to find the right stream for my fantasy lineup I've had people I was campaigning with tell me its dumb. I just think it's really hypocritical.

sports are more popular and have been around a lot longer than D&D. additionally, there's a tribal fandom in football where people are all rooting for a certain team and other people are rooting for a different one and they're all trying to get to be the one that gets to claim victory.

D&D is usually collaborative, there is no "victory" condition, and there is no easy access to a visual representation of what goes on.

Yeah I think this applies more to ten+ years ago. It certainly seems D&D is as popular as ever these days.
