The next issue of ESPN The Magazine is going to be a little different. Instead of featuring a baseball player, football player, basketball player or other athlete, it'll have esports gamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins on the cover spot, ESPN said Tuesday. Blevins is the first esports player to make the cover of the magazine. He's also the first Twitch streamer to rack up 10 million followers, and he's broken streaming records playing Fortnite, notably once with rapper Drake. In June, he also made Time's list of the 100 most influential people on the internet.

He doesn't look that "shiny" in real life lol.

That's not the question. The question is, is he an athlete?

To which the answer is no.

He's not an athlete, but it's fine, if you remember what ESPN stands for.

Because of headlines like this maybe?

A simple question.

Disagree.

Athletes require physical exertion. Players don't always have to.

All Athletes are Players but not all Players are Athletes.

I disagree. It requires quite a bit of stamina and nerves of steel, not to mention the ability to withstand 100+ degree heat for 3+ hours.

I can say the same about regular sports as well. Though I also don't really watch esports. I only watch streams if I find the streamer fun, and not really their skill anyways. Like I don't watch Ninja, but I will watch Markiplier mess around in fortnite.

I dunno but men dominate women at e sports and chess just the same as in traditional sports so that checks out.

Oh boy. Someone is upset about this.


Anita, in addition to be a low IQ con artist, has some very clear daddy issues. Heard her father donated to the Trump campaign... LOL. I wonder how she feels about that?
