This is a blurb from the web page for WDHN, a local TV station.

ASHFORD, Ala. (WDHN) — Senior Michael Pace Mcwaters became the first student at Ashford High School to sign a scholarship to play esports at Huntingdon College.

His specialty is “Super Smash Bros.”, a game played on the Nintendo Switch.


Is this a thing now?  Scholarships to play video games?

Competitive gaming has a huge following.  Kids these days will sit on YouTube for hours on end watching somebody else play them, and those gamers are making millions off posting the content.
