When my nephews (13 & 11 now) saw me playing a solitaire game they were not at first interested untill I explained to them the way I play. Multi-stop. My oldest nephew (Vincenzo) said Ah, you turn the board on and they all run in circles. Oh yeah. I turned the board on and he couldn't believe it. I ran a sweep with a pulling guard and he was amazed. Now they are hooked. They had the same outlook on this hobby as do alot of people. Turn the game on and watch the plastic football men carousel. We need to get out of that stereotype. Before standardization or rules or anything of that nature are ironed out, we need to educate on the breakthroughs and strides taken to make electric football a BETTER game than when we were kids.
