Not to be a devil on your shoulder, but I stream my sports and usually watch it while I'm busy gaming (2 monitors). Cricket doesn't require your fully attention at all; something nice to watch while gaming actually.
I do the same with the rugby, and I only watch the team I support, and not even always.
So you can game and watch sports at the same time
Good luck with your endeavour though, I'll tag you here every once in a while 'cause reasons
