Physical exertion is the only thing separating the definition of a sport from the spirit of one, that being the competitive use of skill against an opponent for the entertainment of others. In this regard, I see no reason why eSports couldn't be broadcast in the same vein as physical sports for viewer entertainment.

I like the fact that I purchase a game no matter where I am using my mobile phone and that game will be waiting on my PS4 (ready to go) once I get home.
