And this is the real cynic in me, but the dad will be enthusiastic about going to Little Timmy’s games, and in the end, that’s probably all Little Timmy wants: some time with dad where dad’s happy to be with him.

That’s actually pretty optimistic. Good outcomes for everyone regardless of motive.

Yep I don’t see anything wrong with it. All the kids know is someone is cheering for them and that their dads are there way more often and more involved than ever. It’s a win win…

“Sorry Timmy, I’ll buy you ice cream on the way home if you don’t tell mom I was rooting against you”
