Dermot Mulroney says son is an 'individualist'

I'm going to get him into a little 2-week camp this summer.  Maybe he'll get more interested in it then.

While promoting his upcoming film Gracie in which he plays the head of a soccer-obsessed family, Dermot laughed after hearing that co-star Elisabeth Shue, upon whom the film is loosely based, admits to paying her children $3 for every goal scored.  Dermot -- not above a little bribery, himself -- said "I'm glad I've been given the idea."

I'm going to pay him for goals.  That's the way to do it.  He's an individualist, my son.  He likes skiing, surfing, skateboarding.  That's really hot right now.  I need to get him on some team sports.  These east coast kids all grow up on sports teams.  It's hard to do out here because California is more about free will, and its mellower.  It's different than the culture I grew up in.

Will you encourage your kids to play team sports?  Why or why not?
