    Are eSports bigger than Real Sports?

    I saw this posted on Imgur a little bit ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvpNIhVKJP8

    It seems like the numbers of people watching eSports is insanely high. Are these numbers accurate? Are 35 million people really watching LoL right now? That is insane if it's true.


    Does anyone know more about this subject and can enlighten me on it?

    35 million people watching, yes. Is it bigger than traditional sports? No.

    He said "real" not "traditional". REAL. (Lols.)

    Pretty sure more people "watch" football more than people who watch league of legends.

    Both pointless
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    Of course not, players for real sports often get paid Double the prize of most esports games. Thou in the future I can see esports reaching real sports level when more of the younger generations come

    Not into either, but it would be nice if Esports became mainstream within my Father's lifetime so I can shut him up about it being a 'fad'.

    How long does it take to come up with these questions that are so far beyond stupid it baffles the mind that it is even a question?
