The interesting part to me is that you can watch football even when/if you can't play football, but you could be gaming instead of watching.

Nah, I can't game while I'm doing the dishes but I can watch a video just fine

You're taking too long to do the dishes.

There are more chores than dishes:

  • folding laundry
  • sweeping and mopping the floor
  • fixing the car
  • going through the mail
  • changing the sheets

That's when I watch/listen to streamers, I almost never do it when I could otherwise be gaming. I'll occasionally listen/watch while gaming though.

I don't only do dishes. Also, there are short videos.

Watching sports is a useful activity when you confined to a hospital bed for a month or two as has happened to people I know. In one case they wouldn't be allowed to game, even sports were in danger of being too exciting for their condition.

Logic does not check out. Like they're both activities I can do on my couch? Okay sure, I guess. Just like I can watch a video about knitting even if I can't knit, but I could be knitting instead of watching!? Complete nonsense...
