I appreciate what you're saying in regards to eSports, but it's a little misguided.
eSports is still in it's infancy, and it's already been projected to overtake the NFL in regards to revenues. Within 5-10 years I'm sure we'll see that happen. European Football (Soccer) is a different beast, but I can see it being their main competitor in the future with regards to market share.
Remember - eSports is the fastest growing spectator sport on the planet, with incredible growth year-on-year. Major cities don't have one team, they have many many teams. The players are making incredible salaries. And competition prize funds are astonishing. This has all the trademarks of a growth industry.
