E Sports ? Pull the other one
I haven?t got a problem with kids playing computer games (it?s a bit weird if you?re an adult). I used to love them, when it was raining outside. And it?s great that, thanks to the phenomenon that is the internet, you can play with people all over the world; sexual predator or not. But I think some people have got a bit carried away with this whole E Sports thing?
And let me explain exactly what I mean by that. As a MotoGP fan, I?m seeing more and more MotoGP ?E Sports? online content, which is a bit annoying. But I can live with it. It?s no big deal. And besides, it?s the price you pay for having any form of social media account. But a lot of the content I?m seeing seems to be well produced (expensively produced) stuff. That tells me someone?s taking this seriously. Too seriously" I?ll let you decide what you think ?too seriously? is.
Factory riders
As a motorcycle journalist (well that?s what I tell people, anyway) I?ll quite often get press releases sent to my email inbox from manufacturers to tell me how their boys got on during the weekend?s MotoGP round. And I?m glad of them. They can be very interesting. But recently, the same manufacturers are sending me emails about how their factory ?E Riders? are getting on. ?E Riders? for Christ sake. And these are genuine press releases from the actual press offices, of actual MotoGP teams. And there?s nothing tongue in cheek about them, they?re deadly serious.
You could argue that any sport is supposed...
