Maybe, until the streamer started a sports debate through his latest viral tweet. Fans had mixed reactions when the man drew a massive parallel between NASCAR and gaming.

The Fortnite pro left his fans pleasantly surprised with a sports tweet. Although Ninja being a sports fan hasn’t always been public on his preferences in sport. This time the latter has an open confession as he called NASCAR the “battle royale of sports”. Taking his opinion to Twitter, he wrote, “NASCAR is the battle royale of sports. Tell me I’m wrong.”
