Nooooo...... I have a child starting high school next fall who really wants to major in some sort of computer game making in college. I'd like him outside and in the fresh air more. As a parent, I can see this as a fun hobby, but not as actual sport.

What career is he going to take up that gets him outside more, do you think?
Don't poo poo it out of hand. It's a legitimate multi billion dollar business.
Yeah don't crap on your kids dream. If he wants to get into programming there are far worse majors in college and he can do a ton of things other than make video games. Not that there is anything wrong with video games or making them.
I agree that it is ridiculous to give scholarships for playing video games. But I think the large majority of sports scholarships are ridiculous. I am not a college football or basketball fan, in fact I don't think I have ever been to a college football or basketball game, but at least some of those football and basketball scholarships generate money for the college. What good do track, wrestling, volleyball or swimming scholarships do for the university?

It's already shown on TV for hours on end and a huge fan base apparently. How is that different from more mainstream sports?
what channel is this? Not that I don't find this plausible, I mean with 400+ channels they have to put some cheap content on.
