CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: One of the most well-known streamers worldwide is Richard Tyler Blevins, better known by his stage name Ninja. The developer has a significant impact on the upcoming gaming professionals because he is one of the wealthiest streamers in the world.

However, Ninja is making news this time around for a very different cause. Following his selection of the finest sport in a tweet, the streamer sparked a lively discussion among sports lovers.

‘NASCAR is the battle royale of sports’

Even though Ninja's contract with Twitch was terminated over a year ago, he is still a darling among gamers. Maybe, up until the streamer sparked a sports discussion with his most recent trending tweet. When the speaker made a significant comparison between NASCAR and video games, the fans' emotions were divided.

With a sports tweet, the Fortnite pro delighted his followers. Although Ninja is a sports lover, he hasn't always been open about his sports inclinations. This time, the latter is frank about it, referring to NASCAR as the "battle royale of sports". He tweeted his viewpoint, “NASCAR is the battle royale of sports. Tell me I’m wrong.”

The reference may seem like big praise to all gamers. It's a bold statement to say that the most intense video game combat is comparable to a sporting event. According to Ninja, NASCAR is as fierce and comparable to a battle to the death in which hundreds of competitors compete until only one remains the victor.



 

‘NASCAR is the country music of sports’

Ninja’s comment has garnered a lot of criticism from NASCAR fans. A fan wrote, “NASCAR is the country music of sports.” Whereas another fan wrote, “It’s a sport. Do you not understand the physical toll it takes. You have to be in shape, have to withstand G’s, have to make fast decisions, and so much more. Sorry, but you’re wrong buddy.” Another fan mentioned, “Ever thought about putting your face/brand on a car? Would be a great experience for you. I know a few teams who’d be eager to chat” whereas another one said, “If you don’t sweat it’s not a sport to me, and I’d say the NFL is more of a battle royal than NASCAR.”
