ITT: internet journalist pedantic about labels. While western media may not yet be open to embracing eSports on television, South Korea and several other nations have been televising video games for years and building followings behind them that rival "real" sports. The author's trying to make an opinionated point about the state of eSports without recognizing their following both internationally and online. There's a lot of money being thrown around in there. We're past the point of debating whether or not they are real sports and starting to seriously consider bringing them to the attention of a wider audience. It hasn't stuck (yet), but maybe in the future viewers will be receptive to it.
