Decline of English soccer blamed on video games, big money

Reporting from London, Reuters has quoted several bigwigs involved in England’s soccer leagues, including the head coach of the nation’s World Cup team, as stating that among other things (such as big money drawing players elsewhere) that video games are one of the primary reasons as to why they are no longer cranking out droves of top-tier soccer players.

One official indicated that in Brazil soccer is a religion, that it is a way of life, and that those who play aspire to be the best and are not as distracted.

The moral of the story is, video games will keep you from maximizing your potential. At least, that’s what we are being told to believe.
