Hey, idiotic software designers and hardware manufacturers. Video games, even sports video games, are supposed to even the playing field for us non-jock types.
The CTA Digital Football for Wii may look like some cheap, plastic container for your Wiimote. But it's so much more than that. This product is a manifestation of the way video games are going. Even in the digital realm, physical prowess will soon champion smarts, attention span and the sheer ass power to plant on a couch for days at a time. In the not so distant future, your real self may need to learn to throw a football so your virtual self can keep up.
And while the CTA Digital Football doesn't appear to be for sale just yet, let it serve as warning. It's only a matter of time before we're all getting wedgies during a minigame in Wii Sports.
