But equally important is that you also dropped the capitalization of the S.
Yes, we dropped the hyphen for esports. Want to know why? Join @oskargarcia for our rescheduled sports #APStyleChat on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m EST.pic.twitter.com/q9J5VORzQP

True -- eSports was also popping up on the wire even though our previous style was e-sports. We needed to wrangle it down!

If you want some good insight behind this decision, ESPN did a good lil piece on it at the time:http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/19860473/why-associated-press-stylebook-went-esports-not-esports …
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This is the first time I've ever seen that word, and I automatically pronounced it as ess-ports. I'm inclined to hyphenate it for clarity. It's not as well-known as email, and it's more likely to be mispronounced.

Duly noted; however, when has English been the staple for clarity with pronunciation? The fact it is a foreign word to most people who aren't avid gamers should give a clue to these newcomers. What do we do when we see a new word? Break it down. Find roots. Google it. XD
