We've come a long way, baby, because a lot of times we sit down, whether it's childhood obesity, whether it's eating disorders, whether it's abuse, we take a deep breath and we say we're really still treading water, you know? Because, you know, in 1960s, you know, the American Academy of Pediatrics put out a consensus statement saying, you know, no kids 12 and under should play commercialized sports and they shouldn't play collision sports. We shouldn't be monetizing kids playing games for fun.
