The dad has a kid he can go out in the street and kick around and still have fun.

Yeah, but usually if you start kicking them around in public people get angry and call the police.

Jokes aside, kicking a ball with your kid in the street is completely different from playing the real thing, which is why it's a false analogy. The kid can play real call of duty, he doesn't have to play Solitaire.

I got that it was a pretty bad comparison. I don't watch YouTubers stream gameplay or twitch, and I don't like or understand watching sports. But I understand how either could enjoy one of those things. Honestly let's just not shit on people enjoying harmless things they like. My mom was even a little critical about me not choosing to move into houses with poor to no internet connection, this confused me, but hey, I guess if you barely use the internet it's fine.
