p.s. let's keep track of these words...

 

especially when in a few months we get an announcement about e-sports suddenly and immediately becoming part of the core disciplines of the Olympic program...

Bye bye Boxing, hello Halo

At the moment, esports would be better to have in the program than boxing.

The issue with esports is that it just isn't universal yet. For most games, you are really scratching the bottom of the barrel to come up with more than 10 viable nations to compete.

That won't stop stuff like women's Nordic combined.

Not true at all. Even Saudi Arabia has good FIFA players. Even Laos and Turkmenistan have Hearthstone players though it's questionable how good they are.

FIFA is easy because every country likes football anyway. I would also say it's the most played game by people that don't really like video games in general that much (same with PES).

 

But all other games are just east asians, western europeans and americans at the top level.

That's good for diversity at least, since in regular (men's) football, only Europe is top level.

That's three continents with major representation, that's actually not that bad although sadly I'm too lazy to check all current Olympic sports
