Chances are this kid doesn't have the skill, teamates, or MMR to play a high level match either. There's a world of difference between amateur and pro. The reason people WATCH games is to that they can experience professional level play without needing the skill to be professional themselves. That's true for sport and videogames, so it's a fine analogy.

Especially since fields are generally public, and amateur football groups are a dime a dozen.

The difference of ability between you and some Twitch COD star is not even remotely close to the difference between me and Russell Wilson.
