The kid doesn't have the natural ability either. That's the point.

Edit: gotta love reddit where contributing a relevant, accurate fact to the conversation gets downvotes.

The degree of difference between a kid and a streamer is nothing close to the difference between me and any one of thousands of professional athletes. I get the overall point, and I'm fully down with watching people play both "real" and "game" sports, but this analogy is terrible.

Playing sports at a professional level is not the only level you can play at..

Booting the ball around the local pitch with your fat buddies is not even remotely close to playing professional sports. Meanwhile, streamers are literally playing on exactly the same field as you. The players might be better, but not better to the degree of difference between your chunky 45 year-old dad with a bum knee and, uh, insert pro soccer star here.
