I know several guys that missed their graduation to attend a playoff game.
I and many of the other parents and teammates do see it as walking out on their teammates. They walked out of the dugout in the middle of a game. What is that if it is not walking out on your teammates? I know it is still affecting their season today a month later.
Again, maybe it is just me but I don't see how missing a game is okay. It is a lack of dedication to the team. I understand it is priorities difference but it doesn't make it right.
And no, my son would not miss a game for a graduation, his or his siblings.
