Of course I idolize writers over athletes; I have an English degree!
The point I was trying to make is that yes, you can engage in other activities that have the same benefits as sports, but you have to participate in multiple activities to gain the same benefit that a single sport provides in socialization, discipline, learning respect, learning responsibility, and physical fitness.
And no, I don't know any parents who forced their children into sports. I generally don't associate with people like that. Most parents I know let their children choose what they want to choose in regards to activities. Invariably children usually choose to participate in at least one athletic activity.
