I view my Rocket League partner in a similar light I do with my baseball or hockey teams, but the teamwork aspect isn't the same. Instead of one person it's more like 13 - 15 guys who all work together toward a common goal. I think the values or at least, certain values you learn in sports you can't learn through video games.On the whole though I do agree that they're roughly the same in the skills you gain from each.

What the fuck, why is there such a bullshit stigma against playing video games?
