  The angriest person I ever saw playing video games was my brother playing Madden when he was younger. Model straight A student, calm person in everything else, very unlikely to ever get in a fight, went to to have a good career, good father, never been arrested or even gets traffic tickets… Yet if video game competitiveness while a teenager was an actual tie to judging if a person was violent in their real life… I think banning all sports games/possibly all competitive sports should be higher up their list.

  When’s the next time you will see someone physically hit someone in a manner outside the rules/laws. Every given Sunday in the NFL. Saturday in the NCAA… probably won’t even make it that far, is there an NBA, MLB, NHL, or other such physic sports game in today? Competitive wrestlers are known to shove a finger up someone else’s ass if they think a referee can’t see it for a competitive advantage. Football intentionally kneeing people in the ribs or trying to poke people in the eyes when they are in the piles. Most of the fights we see break out stem from cheap shots and rule breaking happening when a referee can’t see, not just shit talking.

  If these are the things players are taught and do, why would it be okay to teach kids to play these sports as little kids… Probably because they know theit kids aren’t randomly forcing their finger up someones ass or kneeing someone in the head when they go into the office. Different mindsets
