How are you going to compare a Michael Jordan or a Babe Ruth to a lazy fck who spends all day playing video games in his/her room?

First of all babe Ruth was an overweight, alcoholic, smoker, and made records before anyone but whites could play. That's like having a pasta contest without Italy. Secondly MLG is in it's infancy. As it matures so will our expectations of pro gamers, like the standards we hold pro athletes to. Third you're basically saying Jordan ruined basketball for the casual player because there's a chance you'll run into him on a court. Lastly at one time sports were just a game as well.
