Not always, but just looking at youtubers a lot of video game nerds hate sports and even sports video games (AVGN, Mike Matei). There is an untapped market of sports video game reviews (bad and good) on youtube.

Sports nerds usually tend to stick to sports also. The only famous sports nerds I can think of is Bill James... but he isn't playing video games. And I guess there are TV and radio personalities... but they aren't playing video games either.

someone explain this. Sports nerdom and video game nerdom are perfect for each other

I know. They are not that popular though. SoftDrinkTV is the first one I thought of because he has some popular anti-Madden videos (he just posted a 50 minute The Fall of EA Sports vid lol). But he only has 62k subscribers.

There is nothing on the level of Pat the NES Punk even. Pat the NES Punk is the only AVGN-style youtuber I know of that really likes sports games.
