Another thing you don't see is the local fields heaving with parents cheering their kids on. Every street had its own footy team when I was a kid.

Thankfully my boy is football mad, forever got a ball at his feet, and youngest is looking same way too. Most parents are happy for kids to sit on computers all day as means they don't have to get off their own fat arses or entertain them
