And you may, in fact, drive away kids who don't care for sports, and are tired of being constantly urged to go out for a sport, to attend sports activities, and to care about spectator sports.
Completley agree with the rest of what you said. Just want to point out, that sometimes a non sport themed game will be way more interesting than a sport themed game for audiences as well. Castle capturing and defense destruction is more interesting than throwing balls into goals and going over hurdles....
