The Olympic committee will consider adding E-Sports , which has grew into a huge money making online sports gaming phenomenon that has started getting broadcast on ESPN. The Olympics seemed to realize this is a growing young demographic they need but the older ones on the committee don't really want that audience. So they made a really stupid demand that makes no sense.

Its pretty funny as the Olympic committee seems intent on being silly. Darn those make believe games where you kill folks in the future. That promotes violence !
Those pushing for the $1.5 billion esports industry to be considered on equal footing with traditional sports got a big boost back in October when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said that "competitive 'esports' could be considered as a sporting activity" for Olympic competition. It's becoming increasingly clear, though, that the IOC won't even consider any esports that involve violence, a decision that eliminates many of the space's most popular games.
