Of course lets blame it on video games. It couldn’t be anything else, like not keeping score in youth soccer games, the banning of tag, zero tolerance, or anything like that. Nahhhh, it’s the video games

In Boys Adrift it is one of the five factors that he describes in why boys are unmotivated today. And he talks about the “experts” that claim that video games “help” kids.

Is there any funding from the video game industry going to Harvard?
