Who makes a decision whether or your not child plays sports? Most people let the kids choose. I say that's a mistake.

Why do parents force their child to play a sport they are not interested in?
Answer (1 of 6): I believe there may be any number of reasons, depending on the situation. Sometimes I see a parent who is trying to encourage a child to develop an interest in a sport, because they have not been an active role model, and now it appears the child is going to be a computer spud, ...

Yes, we’re those parents. My husband and I force our three daughters to play sports. But we don’t do it for the reasons you think.

Yes, Parents Should Force Kids To Play Sports
Forcing a kid to try a sport is fine, particularly if it's less forcing than persistent encouragement. But if a child tries a sport and doesn't have any fun, then parents should let it go.

My child is too fat and does not want to go to a sports club. Should I force it?
Answer (1 of 6): Your pantry is the problem, not a lack of activity. I'm all for exercise, but people who exercise without correcting their diet seldom lose weight. It's just a fact. In many cases, exercise just makes you eat more, especially if your exercise is focused on cardio. It's a lot eas...

I’ve recently heard articles such as these and it’s making me think “ugh why”. People somehow think it’s ok for parents to force their children to play sports when they don’t want to because they believe they’re allowing their children to lose weight and that it gives the parents the interests THEY want. For example, a dad demanded his daughter to play soccer for several hours every day so she can lose 50 pounds. It absolutely makes me sick when parents say forcing kids to play sports keeps them active and prevents them from getting sick and fat. It’s utter fat shaming.
It’s also fat shaming when people say that their child is fat because they eat too much junk food and sugar and all that garbage. They tells parents they’re bad for letting their children eat junk food and have a lot of screen time because for some stupid reason junk food equals death and screens equals brainwashed children. Then there’s the ridiculous defense saying their parents are right to force children to play sports and exercise and they shouldn’t hate them for that.
Of course we’re not supposed to hate our parents, it’s the actions they do that make us feel anger and a lack of respect towards us. I’m tired of people defending their actions that are inconsiderate towards their children and somehow make them justifiable. If people force me to do a hobby I don’t like and I protest and they reply with “but hobbies are good for you, why can’t you just do what we say and enjoy them like we’ve always wanted you to?”, they’re completely ignoring my wishes and being downright selfish. Even if soccer moms keep defending their garbage with “it’s not selfish, it’s getting your kids to get motivated”, they’re still ignorant of their actions and the effects they have on their children. Denying the fact that their acts are selfish even proves that they really ARE selfish.
In short, it’s nothing but an excuse to hide emotional abuse. Now I’ve also heard of instances of children who ARE interested in sports but their parents won’t let them participate. That itself is another example of emotional abuse. I’m definitely sure this also provides a similar consequence to children when comparing to vice versa.
I apologize if I sound like I’m complaining. I just need to get this off my chest. No advice needed. Thank you.
