Thanks for doing this, it's always interesting to hear from different perspectives in sports.

What's the weirdest/dumbest argument you've been faced with when negotiating?

Which esport has the best long term system in place right now to support players?

Which esports aside from sport games do you think will have the broadest appeal? Rocket league is easily my top answer there.

I dont think esports has any long term safety for any one game yet. That has yet to be built. Fortnite seems safe and the sports legacy franchises as well. Globally rocket league and league of legends seems safe

Im gonna write a book about my crazy stories when im done

Have you heard of Dota?? Those guys make more than fortnite and league of legends. 30mill+ prize pool with winning team of 5 taking 15.6mill, in the yearly International. Pretty consistent growth over the past 9 years, i expect this years international tournament to surpass 40mill prize pool.
