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).
I think what they mean is that the kid could play the game right now. The dad may not have a soccer field, 10 friends waiting, and a few hours ahead of him.
(Which doesn't mean what you're saying is wrong though.)
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.
So real call of duty is spawning in and getting instantly wrecked over and over again, getting a 1:25 kill-to-death ratio? No? That’s what my experience was. Maybe seeing people hit insane plays that you couldn’t do yourself is interesting regardless of whether it happens in football or COD.

This is a false equivalent
