    There are some bars/etc.

    But it seems like justin tv and twitch tv are the common web sites.

      Maybe as a way to improve your game you watch the 'pros' but for pure entertainment? Really? Play the game.

      Though to be fair, Starcraft is annoyingly stressful of a game.
      Well, why should anyone watch the NFL instead of playing with a football themselves?

          I don't think you understand how incredibly strong NFL offensive and defensive linemen are, nor how quick and agile they are for their size.
          I don't think you understand when people are trolling you. And that wasn't subtle even.

            At the end of the day when you understand a certain game it can be entertaining to watch other people show their skills playing said game. As you said playing the games can be stressful while watching is not.

                  You go get yourself and 21 other guys together on a football field... with the right ratio of guys who can play the different positions... good luck with that.

                  Your analogy is BS because it's so much easier to play a video game than organize a football game.

                    I'm sure if the millions of football decided they'd rather play the game themselves it wouldn't be that difficult to get amateur football leagues set up.

                    edit: football fans, not football.

                      You can't be serious. The only reason people watch sports is because it is difficult for them to go out and play the sport themselves?

                        No that was gribbler re-directing the conversation. I'm saying why the hell would you watch someone else play a video game when you can play the game yourself?

                          I thought this might be interesting, and it might have been, if Alby hadn't chosen to once again spread his opinion around like so much manure.

                            Manure, at least, helps things grow.
