[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It has been interesting reading replies.

To further color in the situation, this bday party is for a very small group of best friends. We changed the date when we were told it conflicted with friend's out-of-town tournament.

DC asked friend if the LOCAL tournament that happens to be the next day after our rescheduled party was a big deal, a championship type tournament, etc. It is not.

So my point is simply that I am saddened that "I have to get my rest for a run-of-the-mill local tournament game instead of fully participating in a best friend's small party that was moved to accommodate me in the first place" is where we are as a society.

I understand travel sports, I understand the commitment, I understand all of the points PPs have made. I still stand by my lament -- and those of others -- that our youth sports culture has overtaken so much.

I want to be gentle here, but I don’t think the issue here is the sports. This is what you are being told. But I think the truth is more complicated. [/quote]
