Of course you do need to be of a certain age to play the game properly too because if you havent seen a bunch of kids play a football game, they all just chase the ball around the field. There is no such thing as positioning or tactics, they just run around in circles after the ball.
Most sports are childish to an extent, as in children should be able to play them. Even if not entirely accurately.

No argument from me about soccer being better exercise. I think the fact that a gut on a baseball player is not an unheard of thing is evidence enough of that. One comment I will make though, if you want to hear something that argues for baseball being an “adult” game, is this: The big event in baseball, that is the thing that really gets the crowd riled up, is a homerun and kids generally don’t have enough power to hit homeruns very often, it takes an adult to do that.
