To those that says watching sports as entertainment is somehow more important and legit than watching video games, think about this: sport is a man-made form of competition/entertainment, just like video games. Watching sports only feels more legit because: 1) most sports have much longer history than videogames. It has become part of the social norm to accept it as a competition. I am born after McDonald's was established. I cannot imagine a world without McDonald's. People born past '82 cannot imagine a world without MTV. People born after the 90's cannot imagine a world without Internet. I recall email first began prevalent usage when I was in college. A classmate asked a girl out via email. My friends and I thought that was the funniest thing. Now it is perfectly acceptable (although I prefer other methods). Or people don't start shopping online until the mid 90's, but now it is a distribution channel that is completely redefining the retail field. 2) someone/corporation/social entity has promoted sports enough to convince you that you should care about it. Think of all the marketing dollars and sponsorships. The governing bodies that are created to enforce the standards. Hence, if there are people who enjoy watching it, it is a legit form of entertainment. (Edit for bad grammar and further clarification)
