I am beginning to think more and more that as some other folks have posted, that there are folks who just don't "get" not being popular. Or what it's like to be picked on or bullied. And not just once or twice when they got their feelings hurt, but every day, all school year.
Maybe the kid likes computers. Reading. Acting. Video games. Maybe his parents can't afford to kit him out and/or pay the fees associated with kids sports these days (which, I'm told, can get pretty insane). There is a point to school beyond a school's sports teams. Though I do wish more folks would start to realize this.

I apologize. The 'he'd be a great lineman' comment was not to say that every kid should play a sport. My younger son isn't interested in sports much. He likes math actually.
My husband made the lineman comment because he is a football coach and just saw his body-slam this morning, and thought he'd be able to use those moves on the field. I didn't mean to offend anyone.
