    I'm going to add this video to my favourites. So that when I'm that old in 60 years I'll be reminded not to be this ignorant and close-minded.
  • @LowkoTV
    It's sad to see how old generations are so ignorant.
  • @Ferret440
    "Star Trek convention" Geez, these guys are really out of touch...
  • @sanedem
    "It's a game!" You mean like... football? as in a football game, or baseball game? Not sure the point he/she's trying to make.
  • @jessecox
    Video games? HAH, I bet they like star trek too! Nerds! Am I right old people?!
  • @satanspy
    If poker tournaments can be broadcast on ESPN and is accepted as a legit event i cant see why gaming cant.
  • @failcom87
    never played Lol but these guys are clearly old farts with no knowledge of the gaming world at all..these are the people that call up tech support becouse they cant find the escape key 
  • @jow7775
    The irony here is that this is coming from people who are paid to simply sit there and talk nonsense.
  • @JoshBusker
    If anyone's concerned about the loud noise they just heard, that would be my face hitting my palm at the speed of sound.
  • @JohnD27018
    this is the generation that im glad to be leaving behind... such ignorance wow
  • @farfromthesoul
    This is exactly why pewdiepie has 18.5 million subscribers while this channel has 111k. Even videogamedunkey has 7 times the amount of subscribers.
  • @gwanael34
    "Its not a sport its just a game" Yea because Football and Hockey are not a game ...
  • @NikaHarper
    "This is new and new things scare me."
  • @sagen888
    >'I had no idea this even existed' >Proceeds to express her knowledge of it like it's truth
  • @KerrBearrxo
    Gaming isn't a sport. It's an eSport. Get it right pls.
  • @SkiiMedia
    Wow who are these old guys. Seriously calling us nerds and mentioning Star Trek conventions... wow
  • @PaperPlateGamez
    If the Roman empire saw what we define as 'sports' they would laugh at us and ask where the real sport is: the colosseum full of slaves being killed by lions etc. This can be seen reflected in the older generations in regards to Professional gaming. Change happens, humans just have to adapt to the change as they always have.
  • @Oni_XT
    Despite their Opinion they laughed at us. Laughed at us gamers. Made fun of Trekies, and just dun fucked up. HBO sports, I accept your input but you didn't have to be huge assholes.
