Except those kids are also getting all of the exercise and much of the socialization that healthy kids need. And I think a lot of kids today
are too focused on the elite sports that they or their parents believe (mistakenly in almost all cases) that they're going to reach their long-term goal in. The fact some 14 year olds are way too focused on hockey or gymnastics doesn't mean it's cool if some kids are the same way with videogames.
