There is a diffrence between professional sports and playing video games in mom's basement.

I agree 100% but I would dare to take a guess that "back in the day" when watching sports first started becoming a thing, the players would get donations (perhaps in the form of sponsors).

A skill is a skill. whats the difference between a stand-up comedian and a twitch streamer? not a damn thing. "you idiots that go out and spend money to watch someone stand on stage are ruining jokes for the rest of us!!!!"

A comedian has to come up with jokes and it takes time to be a comedian. Plus the comedian doesn't have to beg for money unlike the slob streamer.
