The Nerdification Of America
Was Santa good to your little athlete this year?
By athlete, of course, I mean video game player.
Were there lots of video games under the tree that could be the first step toward your son or daughter getting an athletic scholarship?
There was a time, long, long ago when boys and girls (mostly boys) would be thrilled to get a new football or football helmet, shoulder pads or a new basketball for Christmas and parents could dream of the day when they watch their kids playing in high school or college.
Or just be happy watching the kids hurrying outside to join their friends in the backyard to play with their new stuff.
Call it the nerdification or the wussification of America, but that’s becoming more rare every year.
Video game playing has been slowly replacing the actual playing of the games for a long time and the proof may be coming to a college near you.
Robert Morris University Illinois gave athletic – that’s right, ATHLETIC – scholarships to 35 students this year as part of its new e-sports program.
