The latest sprts craze is nt even a sprt. Accrding t a recent article, “e-sprts” are attracting a large number f audiences.
In e-sprts, players and teams cmpete in ppular vide cmputer games such as Dta 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas (竞技场) t watch the actin live n huge televisin screens.
The games have gne way past kids playing against each ther while sitting n a sfa at hme.

I have t admit that I am nt a big fan f cmputer games. I knw that sme games can be educatinal, but I think t many kids spend t much time sitting in frnt f a screen shting space aliens.

T ften, regular sprts send kids a kind f message. Cmpetitin starts early, when lts f kids are nt ready fr the ups and dwns f games. Trails and travel teams cme next, giving t many kids the message they are “nt gd” at sprts. S lts f kids give up sprts and start playing mre vide games.
