really does not seem to like esports.
According to the former NFL chief executive, “things are being called sports that have nothing to do with sports or with the values of sport. I read about esports, and it’s not sports. The only physical activity is pushing keys.”
In an interview at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy with Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel, Tagliabue decried esports as a non-sport where competitors are not exerting themselves physically, emotionally and psychologically.
“Sport is a microcosm of life — you prepare, you compete, you win or lose,” Tagliabue said in the interview.
