It's not equating football and video games. It's equating WATCHING football

SandYFan

ok, whats the difference between watching someone sleeping and watching someone play video games

Deleted

One can land you in jail and the other can land you in the friend zone forever.

It's the same as sitting and watching someone play football, right? lol
