One of my favorite quotes of all time lies in the popular TV show, Lost. Repeated over and over, it goes, "Don't tell me what I can't do." John Locke was a handicapped man who just wanted to follow his dreams, but couldn't because someone told him what he could and couldn't do. Obviously, there are many limitations on this quote, but in this situation, I think it's great.
My friend, who goes by the alias Kubsniped is someone I met--already--5 months ago. We played Rocket League nearly every day, practiced after school and obviously, we developed a synergy. Many memorable moments stemmed from this friendship. There was one time, quite early in our friendship where he and I noticed we had the same ping, game after game. Eventually, we found out we live just miles away.
We learned from each other. He was particularly good at dribbling and maneuvering the ball, while I was good at aligning my car perfectly to tap the ball into the net. One of my favorite moments with Kub came shortly after one of my aerial goals. He noticed my car moving in a particular way--he didn't understand how I could rotate my car. After months of playing the game, he learned about the car roll (yaw) and the fact that you could use this in lieu of an aerial to sink the ball in the net. We had a good, long laugh and remains one of our favorite inside jokes.
Recently, I learned about the strict rules his mother enforces on him. He said to me, "My mom is really against these videogames. For 4 months, I've been struggling to get practice in for Rocket League. This game is my passion and I don't want to leave it, but she said she won't let me play again." He earns great grades and plays sports--what's wrong with letting him follow his passion?
I vow for Kubsniped, my friend of 5 months because everyone deserves a right to follow their passion. I hope you can agree.

I faced kub in a 1v1 mock it tournament and he was better than me but i won by luck, if he continues his RL career he can win money by tournaments! Let him play!
Yeah, that's ridiculous. My mother enforces rules as well, but removing the access completely?
Seems dank
Sorry I didn't do this earlier, I was away from home. While I don't play RL, I've heard some awesome things about it. If you enjoy it, and especially if you're good, it shouldn't be taken away from you. Good luck, I hope you can keep playing. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
I understand parents rules and restrictions when it comes to games but to deny your own son something that brings him endless joy, that's just wrong. I took the liberty of asking my parents as well as a couple of of professors at my University, what the most important family aspect is to them, their answer? Quite simple, "The happiness of my children and family". What parent chooses to deny their son happiness, chooses to watch their son be upset rather than cheer him on in something he loves, in his passion!! Kub has a knack and passion for this community that not many people have and he has had a huge impact on the Rocket League community! He has not only built many exceptional friendships, including very close friends of mine Butters and Iridium, but he has also, undoubtedly, inspired so many other players and people to follow their passion! Kub is more than deserving to follow his passion, and I stand behind Kub 100% because no one should be banned from following their passion!
He's good. Sign it.

If anything Kub deserves to play countless hours of Rocket League, especially since he's getting great grades in school and participating in things outside of that as well. He should be able to continue doing what he loves and keep honing his skills and climbing to be one of the top players in Rocket League
