Sports were a very large element of the original City Era. Though originally played separately, they were gradually incorporated into the game itself. Industry and culture developed alongside their introduction to the game. Sports leagues in various sports were established, statistics kept track of (which are now lost), players paid in various currenices, and sports cards of the kids that played were created, sold, and traded. The quality of the athletes that played during the City era usually ranged from terrible to above average but several great athletes made brief appearances. The most notable instance is when a local star athlete planned on joining the game just to play football for the Woodland Warriors. The problem was that he was so good that he completely dominated the games. In response, the R.O.K. Bombers began playing violently in an attempt to remain competitive. This made the star athlete quit within a week in order to avoid potential serious injuries of fellow players. Many basketball scrimmages were played between the City and Eternal City eras and were mostly dominated by Greg Smith. Greg Smith also came in first place in a soccer league that took Era in the first half of the 2010s. Sports continue to be a major element of the game.
Esports
Esports were also played during the City Era, mostly on the Atari 2600, but sometimes on Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and old computer systems. Esports differed from regular sports in that players usually represented their country rather than a club that they were signed to for money. Esports statistics were kept but unfortunately have been lost to history. The major cities for esports during this time were Boboron, Delm, Rome, and sometimes Kelm. During the Intergame Era, Xelm hosted several significant esports events. Esports continued to be played in the Eternal City Era in Nidraw and Blueopolis.
