ESPN embraces eSports with a dedicated gaming section
"It's not a sport, it's a competition," Skipper said at a media conference in 2014. "Chess is a competition. Checkers is a competition. Mostly I'm interested in doing real sports." Despite these comments, this shows ESPN and company aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone and adapt to a new era. You can take a look at the dedicated page here, which ESPN says marks its commitment to a growing audience of people who love eSports.

It's all about what your definition of sport is. As the definition gets looser, you begin to see things such as eSports fall under the category of sports. Not too long until we see it grow even bigger.
