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...

Until dad starts cheering for the kid you're playing against.

That's just a shitty dad at that point.
