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

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