Neymar Jr rumored to join an Esports organization in 2021
Neymar Jr, a football legend, might trade his Pro title in Football for a CS: GO title.

Gaming was a big one. Neymar Jr is no different to other gamers. He's a big name in football and has become world-renowned for his CS: GO gaming clips, and it seems like there's more where this came from.

Even Neymar Jr buying an esports team might not be too far off. This is not as far-fetched as it seems, as even David Beckham has invested enough in Guild Esports to become a co-owner of the company. He is just one of many sporting icons and high profile celebrities to have invested in esports.
