Comprendre l'esport (FUN)

L’esport correspond à la pratique compétitive d’un jeu vidéo. Cette pratique interroge et soulève de nombreuses questions : est-ce possible de la qualifier de sport ? Comment protéger les joueuses et joueurs ? Comment reconnaître leurs compétences et les développer ? L’esport est-il un levier d’inclusion ou d’exclusion ? Le modèle économique de l’esport est-il durable ? Quel est son ancrage territorial ou son lien avec les collectivités ? Et enfin, question renforcée par la crise sanitaire de 2020, l’esport va-t-il renouveler notre rapport à la pratique sportive ou à la consommation de spectacle sportif ?
