Does that mean genital jousting is okay because it's not violent?

So, Splatoon is going to be an Olympic sport now?

Fuck me, you know the gold medal winner would shout "Woomy!" on the podium.

[quote]If and when esports get full Olympic acceptance, though, many in the target audience might not care. An October Nielsen survey found that only 28 percent of esports fans across four countries felt they should be included in the Olympic games. That number is likely to slip even lower if the most popular, violent esports are excluded.[/quote]

Well no shit. Watching someone play Madden is fucking awful compared to watching someone play Smash, League, or Counter-Strike. I still think they should be included because I want them to become more mainstream and accepted and it'll help out that way, but there's no way I'm tuning in to the 2024 Olympic VR Table Tennis competition.
