That's a bit different... if you're old enough to be on RS, you're old enough to make your own decisions. I have no right to dictate what you do with your spare time. And watching sports, the people playing are competing, not screwing around just wasting time.
My younger son's 9 and he gets plenty of screen time already. I'd rather him play an actual video game than watch someone play a video game but with no real purpose.
My older teenage son also spends a lot of time on the computer. He's either playing a game, or watching someone play so that he can learn and get better himself.
