The two-time Blockbuster Gaming champion has never been someone that holds anything back when it comes to his opinion. He always gives his opinion to his viewers and followers, whether it be unpopular or not and this time is no different. This time, however, the Doc doesn\u2019t have an issue with a game or a game developer. He\u2019s taken issue with the word \u2018esports.\u2019 During his November 28 stream, the Doc received a $50 donation from Twitch user Marco who tells him to move to Texas for better internet and so he can dominate opponents in the newly opened esports arena in Arlington. The two-time responds: \u201cI think esports, the word and just the way esports looks makes me sick to my stomach. I don\u2019t know why. Esports? That\u2019s the word we decided to go with? That\u2019s accepted? Esports?\u201d He adds that he wants to start a campaign to start over and find a different word, something that is organically grown to describe the space. \u201cesports? I\u2019m not sold man,\u201d he further states. The Doc added to his annoyance on Twitter, tweeting on November 29: \u201cI can\u2019t stand the word \u2018esports\u2019. This can\u2019t be the word we all agreed upon. Sounds lazy. Sounds manufactured. There has to be something better than \u2018esports\u2019. I hate saying it and I hate looking at it. It\u2019s ugly.\u201d I can\u2019t stand the word \u2018esports\u2019. This can\u2019t be the word we all agreed upon. Sounds lazy. Sounds manufactured.
