“We don’t particularly embrace games where the objective is to blow your opponent’s head off. “

It wouldn’t have anything to do with the players getting paid, now, would it, Mark?

    Oh, how noble Mr. Emmert. The purity of the amateur, untainted by mammon and violence.

    Don’t call it eSports. It’s nerds who are into gaming. The whole name was created to make nerds feel like they were playing actual sports (and their parents not feel guilty that their kids are on their game console 19 hours a day).

    Video games can be fun. So can playing cards. Neither are sports.
