Rick Fox is serving up a big “I Told You So” to anyone who balked at his prediction League of Legends would outgrow the NHL … and says their recent historic sell out of Staples Center is proof he was right.
We had talked to Fox a little while ago at LAX (guy flies more than Superman) and he’d told us he thinks eSports has a chance to pass the NHL as the nation’s fourth sport.
Some balked at the idea … but that was before the recent League of Legends championships sold out Staples center in an incredible 45 minutes … something that doesn’t really happen in the NHL.
When we got Fox — who, of course, owns an eSports team — at LAX … it was time for the 3 time champion to win another ring … at gloating.
