RICK FOX says Pro Gamers Are Athletes on ‘The View’
You guys and Billy mitchell are crooked. Sad day for nerds.
The disrespect from the Generation X is just sad. They refuse to accept that this platform will eventually become bigger than any physical sport you watch today. Nobody watches baseball anymore, young kids are getting injured in football like crazy and if basketball keeps supressing the players like they have the past few years, then it'll become less popular as well. eSports isn't coming, it's already here, deal with it. So either get on board or be left behind, that's how I see it. Old geezers just don't like change and they don't want to change their stuck up views on what should and should not be.
Mr. Fox i love you! you are a guy that is far beyond his generation. you understand what youg people like and why. its a shame that people that never understand the whole esports are ranting about it.
Guys I quote from someone else on the internet this
When your parents see you watching a gaming video they call it dumb and you should go outside but isn't that basically what they do when they just watch Soccer matches etc?
Fuck these 2 women that keep interrupting him
they live up to their shows name, literally one point of view lol
those women
playing shitty mobie game
have no ideal how hard it is to be a pro gamer, we talk about millisecond reaction time here
Why does nobody love us?
Thx for trying rick
Cmon whoppie ….uk better
Lol when they think that gamers are not physical when they're in the gym every evening ??
what bothers me even more then them being so dumb about it is the fact that they just WON'T LET HIM TALK they keep interrupting him all at once, get some manners guys that is so unprofessional
show them how much top tier dota players earn and they will get a heartattack
i like how he stands up for esport great guy
if you dont sweat i dont consider it a sport…
what about
bobsled
bowling
archery
i could name more but you get what im saying
and they also said you aren’t an intellectual if you are a pro gamer, say that to extremely clutch or smart in game leaders in counterstrike. They aren’t dim witted in the slightest.
Its funny to watch older out of touch people talk about something they know relatively nothing about.
I personally can't wait for the Premiere Engineers League to dominate the scene.
Women in red and black dress should NOT breed.. fcking brain less
I dunno if athlete is the right word but there are certainly many top class pros and competitors in the esports world worthy of respect.
Omg they're labels. Who the fuck cares.
The blonde girl and guy with more hair on his chest than his head are gimps.
"If u don't Sweat, I don't consider it a Sport" If only this Nibba Knew
2:04 props to Rick for giving the blonde bitch the hand "sh sh sh". Almost sounds like "bitch would you"
I hate adults…….. Rick Fox is a Legend
i belive that the prejudice against E-sports will never fade away, just like people who thinks that books are intrinsicly a higer form of story telling, however it's suffice to say that it is the opinion of people that are ignorant on video games and sports, so in the and it's not like their opinion matter.
Who’s the blonde. What’s her name?
The blonde should just go do porn. Her stupidity is off the charts.
That really dusted my doylies! That lady is a T H O T
here sits an actual “professional athlete” acknowledging it as an actual sport and these people that seem like they play Golf With Friends at most judging what a real “sport” is
That lady should watch a world finale and see if they sweat or not.
"why isn't an engineer an athlete" maybe because they're engineers and not athletes?
everywhere u cmpete can be considered sports.
Good job rick!!! GO FOX
