People ask me all the time: are video games a sport? I’ve argued about it in bars, locker rooms, Discord calls, and with my mom. Competitive gaming, esports, pro teams, reflexes, aim training—yeah, the whole sports debate. I’ve got thoughts. Lots of them. Why I Care (and Why You Probably Do Too) I’ve been in…
Imagine this. A dimly lit room, covered in the faint glow of RGB lights, gaming equipment everywhere, and the unmistakable scent of… stale pizza and Monster Energy.
