This article is actually okay. Unsupervised play time is necessary for the proper development of children's psychology and Parents should attempt to be as hands off with their childrens pretend games as possible. Helicoptering and Hovering stifles independence and the development of the imagination.
That said, it's still important to do things like play tag and wrestle, so don't just neglect the kids. But most of the play should be negotiated with a sibling or independent.
I'm in favour of the two parent work split, where one brings in money and the other takes care of the house and kids. But asking a guy, even after a long day of work, to play catch with his kids is not an unreasonable ask.

Or the father, where's he in this?
