52. Should Video Games Be Counted as an Equivalent for Competing in Disabled Sports?


Listen Later

For a couple of years now, people have been debating whether E-Gaming should become a sport. While some people who argue in favour of it constantly bring up the tournaments they play at and teams they play on, those against argue that playing a sport video game doesn’t actually make it a sport. And that’s where the argument very often ends.

But over the last few years, we’ve witnessed a massive advance in technology, that has seen not only disabled people being able to play games, but has also led to improvements in AI and improvements in medical technology.

So in this episode, you’ll be hearing an audio version of an article I wrote last year, in which I argue that video games could help more disabled people compete in disabled sports.
