Ted Owen, head of the Global Gaming League, wants to see that changed. He’s pushing a campaign to get video games introduced as a demonstration during the 2008 Olympics. He's so serious about the idea that he has entered into talks with the Chinese government about having video games included during the Beijing Olympics.
The idea sounds a little crazy, especially since baseball and fastpitch softball will get the Olympic boot after 2008. A few questions came to mind:
Would video gaming compromise the integrity of the Games more than baseball and fastpitch softball?
Could video gaming potentially be considered sporting competition?
