Are you trolling or you don't understand how clubs work? Schools already have an extracurricular budget. Esports is just a new activity. If knitting clubs became incredibly popular would you be against them too?

Do you know how it works?

>With tightening school budgets, the spending per child on sports surpasses the expenditure per student in the main subjects. The spending on sports is typically three times more than the spending on education.

Just one example.

Literature club, cooking club, volunteering club, Key club, etc are clubs. High school sports team and sport club is completely different

From the the article itself (emphasis mine):

>100 teams and counting statewide in first official year

From the article:

>HRHS also has a large team. Dennis Sierra, head Esports coach at the high school, said the team just rostered its 51st student.

Clubs are community-sponsored. Teams are school-sponsored and paid for from school funding.
