Will you watch athletes play each other via video games broadcast on tv?

Hearing via sports radio that various athletes are setting up sports video game tournaments/brackets with each other to be broadcast on tv.

NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL players setting up 16 man style brackets & golfers are apparently putting together rounds of golf via their simulators at their homes on the world's favorite courses.

Being so starved for anything live sports related, I have a feeling I'll be tuning in to a lot of this, especially the golf.

I just watched Tiger King, so I'm not sure I can claim too much is beneath me.

Without sports, a lot of things I never thought would look good, I find myself watching.

I will watch, but the leagues need to step in and organize it like NASCAR is doing.

Hopefully they can get each team to put together a roster of players who have hardcore gaming skills.

NASCAR’s Two broadcasts on Fox have drawn over a million views and Indycar got a couple hundred thousand (with only streaming online) .... Having the typica broadcast play by play guys call the races has been fun to watch.

This sounds interesting. The rest sound very meh.

Eta id rather watch NBA players play each other in real life in hazmat suits than watch them play PlayStation.

If they could get 16 athletes from different teams to play in a tournament with their team I think it would be fun to watch.

Madden 20, NHL20, and NBA 2k20.

Why is Durant the 1-seed ?

Guess he's been putting in work on nba2k while rehabbing?

Seeding is based on 2k rating and # of years in league.
