Colin Cowherd, the ultimate radio jock, took a few minutes out of his radio show to rail on the fact that nerds got two-plus hours of ESPN2 coverage yesterday: A “League Of Legends” tournament…

I love watching talented guys throw a ball around, move chess pieces or
play video games competitively. Competition is universal. He needs to
stop showing his ignorance else be forgotten when the next generation’s
interests eclipse him into extinction.
-non ignorant old man.

ESPN do us all a favor and make him report on the next match.
We all need to buy some bait.
So5loW
Thats actually extremely embarrassing.Havent seen so much ignorance in one
place in a while…Who knows what his favorite bait is?
Zeoderos
How is he not fired? These are pretty offensive comments…Almost on the
level of sexism. (nerdism? discrimination of nerds) seriously “Somebody
lock the basement door at mom’s house and don’t let them out.” “I’ll tell
you what that was the equivalent of, there…. of me putting a gun in my
mouth and having to listen to that.”
Good thing is when eSports takes off, he won’t have a job lmao. people
10-15 years younger will take it and do his job 100000000x better.

Yeeeeesss, let the ignorance flooow through you.

Pathetic piece of shit. If only the sports you love to cast were half as
challenging and dynamic as the games mentioned. You poorly insulting, sad,
sad fuck. I genuinely hope you’ll have to cast it and then you’ll swallow
your pride and do cast it just to be pissed.

Colin, please go to a gaming industry event like E3 or PAX Prime. Take a
sincere look at the people you’re labeling as kids living in their mother’s
basements.
Gamers can be anyone. Kids. Teenagers. Adults. Mothers. Fathers. Some serve
this country overseas in the military, while others like Mila Kunis and
Matthew Perry are celebrities. Video games are internationally enjoyed by
*all*.
At this point, you’re insulting everyday citizens. It’s nothing to be proud
about.
(Side note: I’m sure you’re already aware, but “League of Legends” was made
by Riot. Heroes of the Dorm? Or rather, the actual game “Heroes of the
Storm”? Blizzard. LoL had nothing to do with Heroes of the Dorm. Just FYI.)
Alfrebaut
Wait, I don’t understand. Why did he call it a “League of Legends”
tournament when it’s clearly Heroes of the Storm?

I know ESPN stands for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network but,
lets be honest here Video games should not be on this channel (Spike and if
G4 was still a thing then yeah) but ESPN, NO! Poker should also not be on
ESPN. Things that take physical activity should be on ESPN. Football,
Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, Etc… those things should be on ESPN. Don’t
get me wrong, I like Video Games but this shit is getting out of hand. Keep
it to the Twitch Community till it gets more of an American following.
Korean TV can have this because it is big there. When Video games get more
followers than Soccer, Football, Basketball, and Baseball, Call me. You
won’t be able to reach me because I will probably be dead. I am just happy
they didn’t show highlights on sports center. Video Games should stick to
the Internet where they belong and Sports should be Nationally Televised
like they should be.
Kaizy
They won’t ask him to cover any video games because he can’t. He doesn’t
know shit about them, nor does he have the mental awareness to learn. Why
did he even bring this up?
Colin Kautz
This is making us Colins look bad!
RippinHoes
They show chess and poker, this dude needs to stfu,
Awall vs Heroes of the Storm
Let the ignorance FLOW through you. I can feel your hatred and anger.
Strike me down and your journey to the dark side will be COMPLETE!
Bwwwaaaaahahahaha!

hes correct that e-sports are a joke, but if poker has a place on espn2,
then arguably video games should as well.
MirrorXIV
Don’t worry Colin, ESPN would never force a 50 year old ignorant cunt to
cover esports. They’d instead find someone who knows what the fuck he’s
talking about.
famus1469
Oh shut the fuck up and do your fuckin job, or quit and be a little bitch
about. They’re just doing what they love and perusing what they want to do
in life, who are you to judge them you ignorant piece of withering shit
PoopSteve420
video games is not sportz!!!!!!
armst012
Being someone who worked in sports radio for several years and was also an
Esports fan. Every time I tried to talk about it with my co-workers, and I
wasn’t forcing it on them, they were curious about something I had spoken
about or shown someone, they looked at me like I was crazy, and I told them
maybe 5 years ago, just wait ” These commentators are young guys who are
passionate and are better than many TV pbp announcers, the games are fun to
watch when you understand it. This esports thing is only going to grow” and
the numbers showed it.
This is competitive gaming, no this is not about physical play it is such a
mental game it is insane. Of course Cowherd is acting like people did in
the ’50s when they saw Elvis shake his hips for first time on TV or when
Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. He doesn’t get it because he
doesn’t understand it.
Gamers aren’t you stereotypical people who hang in their basement and do
this 24/7. Its older mom and pop who play video poker or games on their
phone to grandpa who play shuffleboard or card games etc at the retirement
home. It’s about fun and competition. But I guess the only sports that
should matter involves a relief pitcher who throws 5 pitches one game,
calls it a day and makes almost a million a year for the equivalent of
about 3 hours of total playing time, or the NBA player who sits on the
bench all year and makes 2 million.
There is a growing fanbase for esports that gets bigger everyday and I
guarantee you they are more intelligent about the respective sports they
watch over many NFL, MLB, NBA, or NHL fans.

This is ignorance at it’s finest. At least have all the information
correct before making an argument. He seems more emotional than logical,
and because that I don’t think he’ll win anyone over unless they’re blind
impressionable sheep.

Watch a bunch of meatheads run around with an eggball. Or twink, beta
Asians and neckbeards play league Of Faggots…not sure what do
Umbra
Fuck off and sell bait then you dinosaur.
KiraMustDie26
Something tells me he was that asshole jock back in high school that would
give nerds wedgies and shove them in lockers.
Mamaspeeder
I mean if he doesn’t want to cover them whatever, doing it live just makes
him look insecure or was bullied by a gamer at some point or some shit. I
don’t really care about this anyway.

Cowherd: This is bullshit my GAME IS WAY BETTER THAN YOUR GAME… IM A
GROWN ASS MAN. 1/10 Needs more Boys playing with balls.
