Is It Wrong For A Boy To Not Be Interested In Sports?

Ok, my dad has been really disapointed in me for not wanting to play football. I am a gay 13 year old and i still have not told him. We have a really good relationship and he is the only friend i have in the house. What should i tell him as to why i dont want to play? And how do i eventually come out to him? BTW i dont want people to tell me how i can change and quote the bible and try to shoot me down, all i want is answers! PLZ!shut the hell up Zach!!!shut the hell up Zach!!!

• when i was a kid, my dad was a sports freak - had to watch every game (all sports) possible.
• he worked the evening shift, so the only time to do anything was the weekends (when most the sports were on back then).
• It was always "after the game".
• Well, after the game it was always too late to do whatever it was.
• Sports became my enemy and still remains that way today.thats your dads problem if he is dissapointed in you not wanting to play football.
• and if your gay then your gay and your dad shouldnt have a problem with it super exotic sports cars.

It's hard to tell without knowing him. I am not gay, but I never played contact sports. I did go for track, and it was quite fun. You might want to try it.
