I'm shocked!
I remember when esports was still a relatively new thing and people were getting hyped about it. Now, you've got major organizations like the IOC getting involved and it's all about the benjamins
. I mean, $55 billion? That's just crazy talk!
It's great that they're pushing to rebrand themselves as champions of Olympic values, but can we trust them when their Saudi partner has such a shady human rights record?
I'm glad they're distancing themselves from that mess
, but it's gonna be hard for them to shake off the whole " IOC = hypocrite" vibe
. As someone who grew up watching the Olympics, I've seen some controversy come and go, but this one feels different. Maybe they'll figure it out, but until then, I'm just gonna sit back, watch, and see what happens
