WOW!!! Mr. Anthony I don't know you but after reading your post if you knew Mr. Rutledge and the efforts that he put into electric football to make this the most realistic hobby there is then you would know that your definition of game is 2nd to the true definition of game that has been inspired & created by Reg Rutledge himself.

The word "Toy" is used by many in this "Hobby" just as the word game is used by Mattell, Milton & Bradley and other game creators. Why don't you call up one of those game makers and tell them that connect four, candy cane lane, Sorry, trouble and all the other board games that my kids enjoy playing and tell them that their games should not be called games that they are toys because there is truly not very much strategy in those games and see where it gets you.

Why is the way that a man describes a passion of his so important that it warrants a post such as the one you posted. Its obvious that you have an underlying agenda. If you had wanted to address the comment of toy -vs- game you could have done that without saying "I just read a post by Reginald Rutledge". Just say that you have just read a post regarding this hobby being referred to as a toy, why use his name! The people in this hobby!!!

By the way in the definition of the word "TOY" you forgot to mention that the word is also described as a pastime, a supportive or amusing act, a diversion! This is Electric Football! A pastime of all of ours, Electric football is amusing its a diversion that gets us away from our everyday lives. Electric Football is in FACT a "TOY"!!!
