[PIGMI] R18 Classification Review

[George]

A very good question Jack.

Is it because sports have more obvious positives to them, such as 
fitness, skill development and teamwork, whereas playing a game has less 
obvious or immediate positive benefit, other than simply being 
entertaining...?

I think it was Penn & Teller that did an excellent comparison of the 
actual likelihood of your kids being injured as a result of competitive 
sport vs playing video games. No prizes for guessing which one was the 
more dangerous activity :)
