When Kobe Bryant dunks a basketball or hits a three-pointer, typically it involves having succeeded in the face of a fervent defender, who\u2019s trying to use body positioning, superior footwork, or simply sheer physical strength to prevent it from happening.<\/span><\/p>\n When Tom Brady throws a touchdown pass, typically it involves locating an eligible receiver within the span of five or fewer seconds while there are anywhere from five to six 270 lbs+ linebackers and tackles who want nothing more than to sit on him, and he actually has to succeed in throwing the ball in a place to where the receiver can catch it.<\/span><\/p>\n When Miguel Cabrera smacks a base hit, typically it involves hitting a little white ball that\u2019s 2 7\/8\u201d in diameter, traveling at him anywhere from 79-94 miles per hour, and is sometimes coming at odd angles or irregular curving motions.\u00a0 He has to put the bat in a position to where not only will it make contact, but send it into a patch of field where an opposing fielder cannot catch or corral it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The above gif is a guy whose team just won a game of\u00a0League of Legends<\/em>\u00a0at a major \u201cprofessional\u201d tournament.\u00a0 I have no idea if this was the final or not, but let\u2019s say this is the championship game; his team has now just won a fairly substantial cash prize.\u00a0 That\u2019s great for him and his team.\u00a0 But his conduct post-match for winning a video game is a little bit excessive, and way immature; but what else can you expect coming from a \u201cprofessional gamer,\u201d whose median age is somewhere around 21, and maturity is around 13?<\/span><\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t really matter if it\u2019s League of Legends or\u00a0Street Fighter<\/em>, but the fact of the matter is that professional gamers are still people playing video games.\u00a0 The same argument could also apply to professional sports, in which it\u2019s grown men playing kids\u2019 games, but there\u2019s still the athletic aspect about it that makes it so much more.\u00a0 Now I enjoy watching very talented gamers play their best games, but let\u2019s not treat them as if they were remotely in any league as a professional athlete.<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, kids playing sports with aspirations of being something professional in their adult lives, the whole way they\u2019re (attempted to be) taught sportsmanship and the importance of understanding winning and losing.\u00a0 I play my share of LoL to know that the vast majority of League players are a bunch of insufferable retards with absolutely little social interaction skills, and win or lose, they behave in a toxic manner that makes me lose faith in humanity a little bit.\u00a0 The gif above, I should remind you, is a guy\u00a0who won<\/em>.\u00a0 Winners shouldn\u2019t be cussing out and throwing rude gestures to the losers; not saying it\u2019s acceptable for the losers to do the same, but losing sucks, and losing sometimes brings out poor sportsmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s nothing worse than a sore winner, and when it comes watching people playing video games, you\u2019ll see a lot more sore winners than you would in professional sport.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to avoid because most professional gamers are still immature kids at heart and mind regardless of their age, and it\u2019s pretty much the chief reason why I\u2019d never be able to take professional gaming seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Kobe Bryant dunks a basketball or hits a three-pointer, typically it involves having succeeded in the face of a fervent defender, who\u2019s trying to use body positioning, superior footwork, or simply sheer physical strength to prevent it from happening.
