Videogames blamed for England defeat

Stereotyping abound, as video gaming is blamed for yet another unfavourable event.

The assistant manager for 'popular' football (that's soccer to the yanks out there) team Bolton Wanderers, Chris Evans, made the bizarre claim that England's national football team lost their recent qualifying match because of video games.

Most of the English team are in their late 20s and early 30s; hardly the typical age for hardcore video gamers. And hey, if they're going to stereotypically blame video games, how about blaming the stereotype of the "play boy" life style these professional divers lead?
