smh, so many of you guys talk about video games as if it's heroin.
It's no heroin but it can be addictive.
I was addicted to this online golf game when I was just finishing off my Masters degree. I was playing it literally 18-20 hours a day, collecting points, collecting new items, perfecting my moves, etc. I didn't eat very well. I didn't go to most of my classes. I remembered going to a Finals exam and had no idea what to answer. I got like 35% for that exam.
I nearly failed that 2nd to last semester before I decided enough was enough and gave my account password to another player, who stripped it of all the items (hence I had to literally stop playing).
That saved me. I had never been addicted to anything in my life at that point (girls, drugs, alcohol,... nothing). That was a time in my life I wasn't very proud of.
I doN't think pro baller have enough freetime to really become addicted and at the same time maintain their level of play. One would find himself out of the league faster than a blink.
None's denying that. But it's very unlikely that a pro will step that trap. Most are highly socially active. For affirmation/boost of confidence or whatever reason. And playing the occasional game of football, basketball or soccer with friends can contribute to social interaction. He'd be the first pro I've heard of to lose an entertainment job because of such an addiction, but I haven't done any research so I'll prolly be wrong and there's been a minor case.
I just don't like the prejudice. People are okay with a FIFA battle on the playstation on the xbox between Dwight Howard and young kids at a video game convention, but when it's not sports games but World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Dota or League of Legends it's always like they're risking to throw their lives away immediately. Additionally most people falling in that behavior use it as a shield to mask something personal that they want to get away from. So as long as you don't suspect an abuse of that or know there's close social connections with Hayward I'm 0% concerned.
Besides his daily workouts he's probably in a situation where he's got major time to recover himself icing knees, getting massages or whatever. What's wrong with him choosing video games to surpass that time?

Step away from the game.

I was addicted to Jazzfanz when I was just finishing off my Masters degree. I was surfing it literally 18-20 hours a day, collecting rep, collecting new friends, perfecting my photoshop skills, etc. I didn't eat very well. I didn't go to most of my classes. I remembered going to a Finals exam and had no idea what to answer. I got like 35% for that exam.
I nearly failed that 2nd to last semester before I decided enough was enough and gave my account password to another poster, who stripped it of all the rep (hence I had to literally stop posting).

Nope, I've nothing to do with that kind of industry, just play an occasional round of game with ppl I know. Stepped away from gaming years ago. I just think I've insight similar to KKKs of what it can do. I just dislike the generalization. I mean there's many things in life that are potentially dangerous or threatening in very certain situations. Yet they don't get equally scrutinized(Starting with alcohol or tobacco). It's usually just lack of interest/education that leads to such assumptions as partially expressed here.
If I have no clue about a subject I research if I'm interested, ask other about it or just read/ignore what others say.
But with gaming everyone feels entitled to have an opinion regardless of qualification.

I was addicted to making alts when I was just finishing off my Masters degree. I was having fun with it literally 18-20 hours a day, collecting rep, pissing people off, perfecting my alt-persona, educating myself about Colorado etc. I didn't eat very well. I didn't go to most of my classes. I remembered going to a Finals exam and had no idea what to answer. I got like 35% for that exam.
