A Swiss Super League match between Young Boys and Basel was interrupted yesterday by fans protesting eSports.
Dexerto reports that yesterday’s match, which ended in the trouncing of Basel by Young Boys in a 7-1 victory, was halted 15 minutes in after the pitch was pelted with tennis balls and a PlayStation controller scrawled with obscenities directed towards eSports. Football fans also unfurled banners that displayed messages along the same theme.
The protests were apparently made in response to both clubs’ investment in eSports.
