eSports

The U.S. will now be granting professional gamers "athletic visas" for Tournaments and team housing.   This could be a boost for esport events and goes to show you how big esports and the gaming industry has become.  

They might want to change the name of the visas and just allow them the same priveleges as athletes.  I for one will be refusing to refer to them as athletes.

If a NASCAR driver, professional poker player, jockey, and a bowler are considered athletes, why not a gamer?
