Moore: “Mr. President, We have a challenge for you” | “Sr. Presidente, tenemos un desafío para usted”

According to Game Politics and other sources, the president has been trying to send a message to parents for their kids to stop playing video as much and instead for them to read a book or do exercises. Yes, reading books is an important step to our children’s learning process, while exercises keep us healthy. However, it seems the president has not taken a complete look at what the Wii has been doing since its arrival. At least for me, he hasn’t seen the impact the Wii has brought to our homes, not just to hardcore gamers also at people of all ages (he’s got one at the White House, but I wonder how often he plays a game or two with his two daughters). After all, the Wii came with the motion-sensor controller, the Wiimote, along with the Nunchuk, so that people can get up from the couch literally in order to be physically active. Microsoft and Sony also want a piece of the action.

Perhaps it’s time to show the president some games so we players can make him correct his current statement. At least Peter Moore, a former P.E. (physical education) high school teacher and current president of EA Sports, knows what exercises and videogames are all about. Moore, in his EA blog, had lots of things to say. Here is one of his most important statements:  “As a father of three and someone who spends many a morning or lunch hour out on a run and/or in the gym, I applaud the President urging Americans to get off the couch and get active.  Of course, I can’t resist pointing out that while I’ve always wholeheartedly endorsed moderation in anything you do, including playing games, it may be time for the President and his family to put their Wii to good use and fire up the 30-Day Challenge with EA SPORTS Active.  This is a “game” even the President may not want to “step away” from.”

Is Obama ready for this challenge?

De acuerdo a Game Politics y otras fuentes, el presidente ha estado tratando de mandar un mensaje a los padres para que sus hijos paren de jugar tanto los videojuegos y se pongan a leer un libro o que hagan ejercicios . Sí, leer libros es un paso importante en el proceso de aprendizaje de nuestros niños, mientras que los ejercicios nos mantienen en un estado saludable. Sin embargo, parece que el presidente no ha echado un vistazo completo a lo que el Wii ha estado haciendo desde su llegada. Por lo menos para mí, él no ha visto el impacto que el Wii ha traído a nuestros hogares, no solo para los jugadores “hardcores”, sino también para la gente de todas las edades (él tiene uno en la Casa Blanca, pero me pregunto que tan seguido juega él un juego o dos con sus dos hijas). Además, el Wii vino con el controlador de sensor de movimiento, el Wiimote, junto con el Nunchuk, para que la gente pueda levantarse del sillón, literalmente, con el fin de estar físicamente activo. Microsoft y Sony también quieren un pedazo de la acción.

Quizás sea hora de demostrarle al presidente de algunos juegos para que así los jugadores podamos hacer a que  corrija su declaración actual. Por lo menos Peter Moore, ex-maestro de escuela secundaria de educación física y el actual presidente de EA Sports, sabe de que se tratan los ejercicios y los videojuegos. Moore, en su blog de EA, tuvo muchas cosas que decir. Aquí está una de sus más importantes declaraciones: “Como padre de tres hijos y alguien que pasa muchas horas por la mañana o la hora de almuerzo afuera corriendo y/o en el gimnasio, aplaudo al presidente por pedirle a los estadounidenses a bajarse del sofá y a que sean activos . Por supuesto, no puedo resistir de señalar que mientras siempre he respaldado plenamente la moderación en todo lo que hacen, incluyendo jugando los juegos, quizás sea hora de que el Wii del Presidente y su familia sea bien utilizado y a que jueguen el reto de 30 días con EA SPORTS Active. Este es un “juego” que incluso el Presidente quizás no quisiese dejarlo pasar.

¿Está listo Obama para este reto?
