    But it's weird to see that kind of recognition by a major broadcaster. They're talking about having a Halo 5 tournament at X Games Aspen and telecasting coverage.

    Nice to see they're lumping all the stuff that isn't a real sport together.

    halo is an esport? since when? and i was expecting madden and fifa tournaments. maybe it's because they heard starcraft tournaments get more viewers than the superbowl.

    I love video games!
    I love ESPN!
    I do not love video games and ESPN together!

    I feel like I may have just caught Mom and Uncle Cecil doin' it in the bathroom at my 12th birthday party.
    I'm disgusted and disappointed....but hey, cake!

    Note my use of the words "Mom" and "bathroom" to pander to the US audience.
    Note the use of the name "Cecil" to try and retain some British street cred.
    Note my poor grammar to remain true to my Australian roots.
