E-Commerce Giant Alibaba Pushing For Non-Violent Video Games In The Olympics
Alibaba, China’s largest e-commerce company and the owner of an esports business, is willing to promote adding esports to the Olympics – so long as they aren’t violent.
Chief executive officer of AliSports Zhang Dazhong recently told Bloomberg it’s “pushing for soccer, car racing and other games to be endorsed as an official competitive sport.” It’s worth pointing out, Alibaba is listed as an Olympic sponsor up through 2028, so the company may have some sway here.
“In our communication with the Olympics committee, we’ve come to have a better understanding of their values, which is to promote peace,†Zhang told the outlet. “That’s why for the future development of esports, we will focus more on titles that are actually related to sports, instead of games that focus on violence and slaughter.”

‘For some it’s life and death’: Ian Thorpe turns business coach
Ian Thorpe admits the transition from professional athlete to a post-sport career is tough.
But the Olympic champion says this time around it’s been easier thanks to new interests, including launching his own small business, Beon.
“For me this time was far easier,” he told Fairfax Media. “I have done it twice now and I struggled the first time. The second time I knew what I needed to do.”
Thorpe won gold medals at the Olympics in 2000 and 2004 before retiring in 2006. He made a comeback, attempting to qualify for the 2012 Olympics, but was unsuccessful.
Thorpe later revealed he struggled with depression trying to carve out a post-swimming career.
