My 11 yr old loves that game.

I wish he'd mix music or create YouTube videos with that time, but he's communicating with his friends while on there.

He's a year 'round soccer player and does pretty well with it, but that drives him away from his school friends. None of those boys are on his level, no one ever sees him play because it's all travel...so it's somewhat isolative.

Hell, even to the kids on his team, they're so competitive. pretty sure 75% of them would rather he not succeed. Crazy to me that sports have gotten that way. I wish the coach would see that keeping him out there the whole game pisses off the kids who have to sit. He bent in a free kick yesterday and maybe 3 boys were happy for him.

IDK, he has the most fun of the day laughing with his friends on Fortnight.
