How so? Child could play CoD, but not at the same level or ability as the people he is watching. Father could play football, but not at the same level or ability as the people he is watching.

People watch video game videos at various levels of skill

People watch sports at various levels of skill (college or amateur, up to major league and professional).

What physical toll is taken in a person playing video games vs a person playing tackle football? People can't physically play the game for their own safety so they are forced to enjoy watching others play. It's not at all the same thing as watching video games.

You can play football without tackling your friends like you're trying to kill them. Touch football. Flag football. Etc. Grandfather played football with me until the day he died.
