Call of Duty fans think Scump\u2019s retirement will be bigger than Tom Brady\u2019s Twitter, @scump, @tombradyWhile the NFL world is lit ablaze by rumors of Tom Brady\u2019s retirement, Call of Duty and esports fans have started thinking about their own stars\u2019 eventual departures. In a massive poll, they claimed Scump\u2019s retirement would be even more impactful than TB12\u2019s. Whether or not you\u2019re a fan of the American fascination with pigskin, you likely encountered some mumblings of Brady\u2019s retirement this past weekend. ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported that the GOAT was retiring this offseason, but Brady\u2019s camp quickly shut that down and explained he hadn\u2019t decided yet. While \u2018meat sport\u2019 fans wondered about TB12\u2019s plans and legacy, CoD and esports fans dove into some reflections on their own games. After one user claimed OpTic Gaming\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner\u2019s retirement would be a bigger deal than Brady\u2019s, the debates bubbled. In the interest of discourse, we pushed that topic into the Twitter world and polled thousands about it. Esports fans claim Scump\u2019s retirement would be bigger than Tom Brady\u2019s Without a doubt, our audience is skewed toward the Call of Duty community. It\u2019s in our brand\u2019s blood and that scene has undoubtedly remained present despite our switch to covering other esports with the DexertoEsports Twitter account. Nonetheless, a poll of 3,500-plus people is nothing to scoff at and neither are the results. After bringing up the topic of whose retirement would have a \u201cbigger impact,\u201d a whopping 71.9% of respondents said Scump. In all fairness scump paved the way for cod, TB12 just revolutionized a sport that was around 50 years before him \u2014 CRAZYCAREBEAR (@CRAZYCAREBEAR11) January 29, 2022 Tom is, practically without a doubt, the greatest American football player of all time. He not only has more Super Bowl rings than any other player in history\u2026 he has more than any franchise. That\u2019s quite the legacy and it\u2019s no surprise that retirement rumors sent shockwaves around the sports world. Still, the argument for Scump\u2019s impact being greater does actually hold some merit. While TB12\u2019s 22-year career has left as unavoidable a mark as possible on football, the league has existed since 1922. There are arguments to be made that Scump has meant even more to CoD than Brady could to football. The first CoD Championship was held in 2009 and, ever since Scump debuted in 2011, he has essentially been the face of the esport. With the man known as scumpii representing OpTic for CDL 2022, it doesn\u2019t seem that a retirement is expected anytime soon. Still, when he does decide to put down the sticks, it\u2019s clear that fans put his legacy in historic territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
