Do you even have kids? Who lets their child get bullied into disliking a sport and thinks that’s okay?

A kid saying to another kid “come play in our basketball team, it’s cool!” Is not bullying.

What about when boys are calling swim a “gay” sport and your son an f-word? Is that not bullying too, you dunce?

Are the boys who call your son those curse words from the basketball team? Also has the "bullying" been going on for a while or was it a 1 time thing. I think way too many parents get caught up in the term bullying. Personally - guilting your son into swimming because YOU want him to advance to D1 is another form of bullying.
I agree with other posters - let him choose the sport he wants. Many kids play 5-6 different sports before settling in on one in highschool. He might even get into the AV club and discover a love of technology - which could lead to a great career. Let him decide - while providing some guidance of course.
