Definitely, it's just a game after all. I think a lot of parents, even coaches are just living vicariously through these kids. Let them play. I've been on a lot of winning teams and a few losing. The memories and lessons learned were equally abundant on either.

I think you are right and I understand parents wanting to see their kids to better and go further than they were able to get. I have also seen a very big trend where parents are really pushing hard to hopefully get their kid a scholarship to play sports in college but oftentimes they don't realize how the scholarship money breaks down even at the division I level. It almost becomes more about getting college paid for instead of about the kid succeeding and becoming one of the small percentage of athletes that are able to compete at the college level which is a huge achievement in itself.
