I am not dogging the dude for playing that much, I just find it amazing and quite excessive even if it is part of what he does for a living.
Is it the right example to set for his kids / other kids / players? I don't think so. It sends the message, "its okay to sit and be sedentary for the majority of your life," and that example encourages kids to do the same or to think its okay to do so and use "its my hobby" as justification for it.
Again, your hobby could be to rob a bank, but does it mean that its okay to do and to set an example for others to do? No.
