Sorry to hear that sir. What's great is that your son is seeing none of the "outside crap" that you are.

I will say one thing - when you're talking about travel teams and select sports, the big difference now is that money is involved. Everyone is ponying up some dough (sometimes significant). Decisions on who plays on what team are definitely partly made on roster size. Also, it sounds like this team had been playing together for awhile now, so for others to notice a new player and be curious, I would think would be expected. But that's as far as I'll go defending that. The "we dont need him" shit sucks. I also dont think I'd go sit in my car. Instead, try and introduce yourself to the other players, explaining the invite and all that. I've leaned that first impressions are sometimes a real bitch.
