Esports Haven't Reflected Olympic Rules And Values
Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), said that Esports is still not worthy of being considered as part of the Olympic program. This was stated by him while at the Pan American Sports Organization General Assembly today.
When asked by the media, IOC President Thomas Bach said that in his personal opinion, “some types of games” played in esports are still “against” Olympic rules and the values of a sport.
But Bach admits that Esports is currently very popular with the younger generation, so it is worth considering. And the decision of the Olympic council of Asia or OCA to include Esports in the Asian Games, can be a test and consideration for the future of Esports.
In addition, Bach is not sure that esports deserves to be included as a sport, given the lack of physical activity as one of the requirements for an activity to be recognized as a sport.
“I can only give my personal opinion, that some games still go against all the values that should exist in sport,” said Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
