Professional sport leagues will cease to exist in its current format at some point in the near future. E-sports will likely be the dominant league as gaming/virtual reality technology continues to advance and we’ll see a shift in marketing dollars funnelling through these avenues instead.

I'm no dinosaur and I know that esports will be a factor in the future.
But I can't subscribe to the idea that esports will outpace traditional sports. 5 million people came out for the Cubs' World Series parade last year. People are still invested in their local sports, and I'll warrant they always will be.
