Reply to "The Future of Esports"

I think esports is a very interesting topic and I have followed it fairly closely since 2010 when I first watched an event.  Even though competitive gaming events can pull in an audience of similar size to large sporting events it still seems to be a very "niche" thing and is rarely discussed outside of its own circle.  Currently, a teen/young adult dedicating their life to competitive gaming seems to be more negatively viewed than a child dedicating themselves to traditional sport.  I wonder if these views will change if the competitive gaming scene continues to grow.     Thanks for the interesting read!
