Okung recently became an investor in Matcherino, a Seattle-based start-up company that helps video-game fans fund matches between their favorite players, or even raise money for a chance to play against their favorite video gamers.
RENTON — Is there really much of a difference between watching someone play a football game and a video game?
Ultimately, it’s all about seeing someone trying to be the best they can be at what they do, according to Seahawks left tackle Russell Okung.
“It’s just like people coming to watch us,’’ Okung said.
And Okung is betting that, someday, the viewing of video games could be as much of a big business as is watching the NFL.
