History

Historical Context

In 1993-94 Senator Joe Lieberman chaired Senate hearings on violent games like Mortal Kombat, prompting the industry to launch the Entertainment Software Rating Board in 1994. The ESRB’s voluntary system has since been upheld by the 2011 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association. Today the Los Angeles Chargers’ Halo-styled video aimed at Broncos quarterback Bo Nix revives that longstanding debate over gaming imagery and sportsmanship.
