Father and son

Good to hear. My parents split up when I was young but my dad was still a big part of my childhood and did a lot of sports activities with me.

My father took an active role in my life and I deeply respect him. It can be a beautiful thing when drama between husband and wife don't get in the way.

in my building every morning there's a father playing football (not handegg) with his son, I see them everyday and also think it's pretty cool.

In my neighborhood I've not seen a man playing ball with his son in easily 10-12 years since I was a lad in middle school. Today it's nothing but little girls playing in the streets but no lads anywhere. Also, no, the parents are nowhere in sight when the kids are playing outside which I find dangerous but they do play smart by staying within eye sight of their houses.

My dad was real flaky growing up. He had a mean streak in him when he was younger so my parents fought a lot. After an ugly divorce and all the child support (which he never paid), we rarely saw each other at all (myself and two siblings). Now that I'm nearing my 30s he wants to reconnect, really mellowed out and seems genuine in wanting to spend time with us. I try to give an adult prospective on the matter now that I'm older and wiser; he did some stupid shit, my mom did some stupid shit (and probably instigated a good deal of it), but they made their choices and we had to live with them.
I wish he played a more supportive role while growing up, but his loss in my gain; I see where he went wrong and I'd never want to be a father like that. If I ever have a kid in the future (adoption being the more likely of means for obtaining one) I'd do good by him, much like the father in the OP is.
Instead of arguing I'd raise him to make collected arguments. I'd encourage reading over television as it's mostly trash anyway. Raise him on word puzzles and riddles to promote critical thinking so he won't be taken over by the politically correct SJWs. Get him into sports at an early age teaching him how to be competitive and projecting good sportsmanship. Hook him on fishing young so he understands the grace of the past time and where we would have many of our deeper conversations of life while sitting on the water waiting for the bite.
Things might not go over as smooth as I think them out to be, but nobody can say I never tried to be a great father. There would be give and take, and times I had to be strict but fair.. but I'd never be one of those 'just do whatever, I don't care' parents who neglect their kids when they lash out; you fucking see them everywhere, the kid yelling at the top of their lungs while the parent is enveloped in some other senseless shit ignoring them.

Playing sports is one thing.... raising your son not to be a pussy is another game altogether.

If a feminist saw them, the man would be in prison.
