I don't see why the author goes into full damage control mode here. The two events are not comparable in the slightest. Overwatch has a world wide audience, which increases the numbers but makes it hard to cash in for advertisers. While Football has a very focused audience, making it very easy to make money from the broadcast.
While I'm the first person who would want traditional broadcasts to die out, especially American football, I don't think this comparison has any value in reality.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
