    I would think OP is talking more about playing in people’s backyards for fun, not the proto fascist hellscape of school sports

      Thats certainly not the first thing I think of when I hear the team “forced into sports”. That term definitely evokes being forced into little league or whatever. and RyanGosling hasn’t really clarified elsewise.

      I played in my backyard pretty much on my own as a kid. But I was doing like, imagination games, not really “sports”. Like tech wasnt as ubiquitous then and I definitly stopped doing that after like, middle school. But I think there’s a difference between “I wish my screentime had been limited” and "I wish i had been forced into sports rhetorically.
