Just spitballing here, but I would think of it as a spectrum.
On one side you have parents that as soon as their kid mentions that they might want to play football is signing them up with personal trainers and dialing in their diets and playing them tape of their glory days. And on the other you have a parent that says something like 'that's nice, is your homework done?'.
Most sports teams have kids from the entire spectrum of parental involvement and take on a view that sports should be for the kids, and that means that they should play with their friends and people that they are comfortable with to develop some kind of social bonds.
It would be wrong to force kids into uncomfortable situations or sit out of doing something that they would otherwise be welcome to if not for the decisions of narrow minded mostly Republican politicians. Who have if nothing else, proven over the last couple hundred years to make shit decisions for anyone that is not a white male.
