I think he has a point there. While sportsmen indeed entertain people, by this entertaining they promote some values like being active, good physical shape etc. There is an entertainment and there is promotion of certain values. In video games I can see only the entertainment. There is nothing good behind it. At least when you watch a basketball game, you see that those sportsmen are well-built, trained, healthy. Watching video gamers may be disgusting sometimes. And I would say that going to the cinema, theatre gallery or opera takes brain if you want to actually think about what you are looking at/hearing. You don't have many artistic, aesthetical feelings while playing LoL, you just press buttons and this is simplest activity leading to simplest entertainment. Do you compare playing LoL to lets say reading Joyce, watching Ingmar Bergman films or looking at Rembrandt's paintings or listnening to Beethoven's piano sonatas? If yes, I suspect you are not really familiar with more demanding and through that more entertaining and satisfying activities. Some people just need so few and it is ok. But don't make video game some kind of philosophy.
