The entry of eSports into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games is complicated
The president of the International Olympic Committee, the German Tomas Bach, does not quite see with good eyes, the arrival of eSports, specifically violent games, such as Shooter.
At the beginning of the month we echoed the possibility that the International Olympic Committee added the [amazon_textlink asin = 'B01LX2SIZJ' text = 'eSports' template = 'ProductLink' store = 'hardwa028-21 ′ marketplace =' ES 'link_id =' c87a90c1-8dd7-11e7-9482-e9c0b4ba8543 ′] within its event catalog. This discipline could be seen for the first time at the Olympic Games held in Paris 2024. The situation has become complicated, since Tomas Bach, who is currently president of the International Olympic Committee, does not have good impressions about eSports, such as olympic sport. The problem is that the Olympic president believes that video games do not convey the same values as those that this event intends to convey.
This at least is what he explained during an interview in the South China Morning Post, where Bach himself said that he does not consider that video games provide positive values: “We want to promote non-discrimination, non-violence, and peace between people. This is not transmitted by video games, which are violent, show explosions and murders. And here we want to draw a clear line ”. Sports simulators could enter, but come on, the Legue of Legends, Counter Strike or PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds would not enter this list.

Within that it is all nonsense and madness, in general, we must emphasize that it is what is said hundreds of times, people of advanced age have no idea what video games are, or what they represent. It is clear that within video games we find many children and many fools, but this goes beyond four fans and we could also interpret that it encourages cooperation, teamwork and camaraderie. It is clear that a shooter game is not the best game for this type of event, in addition, it would still be more logical to mount an Olympic Games. parallel, something like the Olympic Games. of winter.
