Research Topic: Should e-sports be federally regulated?E-sports is competitive, professional gaming that is organized into tournaments that players and teams compete in to earn prize money. Many leagues and organizations have been created to recruit and manage high-level players for competitions.E-sports has rapidly become popular, which has led to tournament prize money ballooning to millions of dollars, enabling top players to earn seven figure salaries. This popularity has also resulted in skyrocketing viewership and tournaments being held in larger, prominent venues like the Barclays Center in New York City.As e-sports continues to grow and gain recognition, regulation is a topic that is more frequently being discussed as it can be beneficial for players, organizations, and tournament organization. Routine drug testing, anti match-fixing measures, employment benefits, and more are some of the immense benefits that can be earned if e-sports is federally regulated.
