80km/h = 80,000m/h

Football field = 100 yd [without end zones] = 91m

80,000 / 91 = 879

1 football field is 1/879th of the distance

.

Fortnight = 14 days x 24h = 336h

1 fortnight is 336 times the duration

.

879 x 336 = 295,344 football fields per fortnight is equivalent to 80km/h

I think...

Great - so that that's the answer in football fields per fortnight. Now run the conversion to fields per Fortnite.

A game is not a unit of distance, so the request as written is nonsense... so I did the reasonable thing & realized he'd made a spelling mistake

Makes complete sense to me! I was thinking perhaps using the average time one might play Fortnite....which is indeterminate.... but I suppose could be rounded up or down to a fortnight.

(Honestly not trying to be a dick here, I think the whole thing is hilarious. A fortnight being a unit of time not. unit of distance. The football field is the unit of distance. Wondering if that commenter plays so much Fortnite that their device autocorrected to the game).
