unless i'm missing something (which is more than likely) I think I'm the one who brought up sports, and I did so because I know how much it meant to my son to be able to play with boys (and girls) his own age.

Ideally, he will find something that interests him and will learn that the most satisfying competition is against oneself, but that takes a while to achieve and to inculcate.

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
