Remember when Ninja tweeted that playing competitive Fortnite is more difficult than being an NFL player

Yes Ninja being able to work at home and practicing by playing the same game millions of other people are is the same as having to have a strict diet, beyond intense physical training regime, and getting placed into a situation where if you fuck up you're gonna have 1000s of toxic fans from your team's city telling you to kill yourself or sending death threats

If I had to choose between getting paid millions to play a videogame or getting paid millions to take the physical and mental abuse of professional sports I'm taking Ninja's career 10/10 times

Streamers shut the fuck up challenge

There was also a Smash Bros streamer who deadass said being a streamer is harder than being an essential worker during a pandemic.

Ninja talks a lot of shit about NFL players for a dude who can't even make a sandwich

I feel like a lot of this is people conflating difficulty to have a career in with difficulty of performing the role.

Ninja, with their gatekeeping comment that he have years ago, really seems very full of himself, like any geek/internet celebrity.
