Recently Jake Tucker, journalist and editor for numerous gaming sites, was asked for his opinion on a statement made by the Premier League chairman Richard Scudamore, who said "the biggest threat to the Premier League is video games," and Tucker had a lot to say regarding younger audiences in particular.
When asked if he "thinks there's a void the Premier League isn't reaching" regarding the younger audience, Tucker had this to say: "I don't think the Premier League, and football in general, is doing enough to bring the younger generation in."
"Football is leaving a generation of people disenfranchised at the moment, and instead they can go to esports in a variety of formats to get that fix," he added. "They still like sports and they still that feeling of competition. I think this is just where it's easier for them, and I think it's a much more attractive proposition right now."
For the whole discussion on 5 Live Sport, head this way. Do you agree with Tucker?
