I found out that your wiki page needed some edits, and I was thinking if you can allow me to do that! 1. Grammar, spelling, formatting. 2. Citation if needed.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:19, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Not a sport"

"Former ESPN president John Skipper described esports in 2014 as a competition and "not a sport". I remember seeing poker on ESPN, also no a sport. Is there any update on ESPN's stance?
