Female Esports Fans, Transparasocial Relationships and Community Dynamics
Esports is a form of competition using video games that has grown tremendously inpopularity in recent years. In 2025, it is predicted that the global esports audience will reach640.8 million people, with 318.1 million dedicated fans and 322.7 casual viewers (Kumar, Feb.5, 2025). Currently, there are 3,530 active esports players in the U.S. alone, and the U.S. esportsmarket is worth $1.07 billion (Kumar, Feb. 5, 2025). It was not until the mid-2000s, with theadvent of livestreaming technology, that the modern iteration of such competitions, known asesports, morphed into the billion-dollar industry it is today (Esports.net, 2021), with games likeLeague of Legends accumulating a peak of 6.4 million viewers (Statista, 2023). But competitivegaming competitions can be traced back to the 1970s when home gaming consoles becamecommon (Esports.net 2021). The Magnavox Odyssey was the first at home gaming console,released in 1972, shortly followed by the Atari in 1975 (Zhouxiang and Lu, 2022). Ataridominated the home console market, and by the early 1980s nearly all the most popular arcadegames, like Space Invader and Pac-Man were ported to Atari VCS (Zhouxiang and Lu, 2022).Atari became the most active sponsor for video game tournaments, with the First National SpaceInvaders Tournament attracting over 10 thousand participants across the United States(Zhouxiang and Lu, 2022). But the affordances of streaming services and the advent of modernesports have led to the possibility of creating an even broader audience for video game play.</p
NEPC Review: Thousands Served: Students with Disabilities in Wisconsin’s Parental Choice Programs (School Choice Wisconsin and Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, January 2025)
Scholars, advocates, and policymakers have long expressed concern that taxpayer-funded voucher programs for private education would not serve children with disabilities at similar rates as public schools. A January 2025 report by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and School Choice Wisconsin challenges this concern, arguing that Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) data underestimates students with disabilities in school choice programs. The report claims over 14% of voucher program participants “likely have a disability,” significantly higher than DPI’s reported 8.9%. However, the report relies on survey data from private school leaders estimating disability rates, rather than DPI’s legal definitions and procedural requirements. As such, its findings are based on conjecture, limiting their utility for policymakers.</p
