PBS Idea Channel Season 2 Episode 12 Can Video Games Become the Next Great Spectator Sport? 2013
8/10 by 1 users

Well, pro leagues already exist, but to know if they'll ever reach the levels of March Madness and Superbowl Sunday, we need to take a closer look at traditional sports spectatorship to figure out the REAL reason we watch. It's more than just winning and losing: there are characters, rivalries, histories, and a host of other background information that coalesce into an AMAZING story, and we're dying to know the ending.
