SURVIVORBOWL 8 CHAMPION

Im disillusioned with it. I joined a team here about 5 weeks ago. They straight up put me in the Offensive line!!! Im 5 ft 10 Inches & weigh about 200 pounds. I have no idea why they put me there but went along with it anyway. Im hating it now & its crunch time. Not only that but we had to pay for all the gear, i thought they would provide that etc. My friend joined too & last week we went to practice (waiting about Town for 3 hours after a days work too), it was raining & very windy & freezing., We didnt get to practice in one down or play as it became apparent the coach forgot about us standing next to him. Apparently he was focussing on the starters for the first game of the season in a weeks time. The crunch is on this weekend as we have to hand over the equivalent of about 300 dollars for the annual fees in order to play. Is this worth it at my age? I dont want to seem like a quitter but im no lineman although i have had my moments.I would only plan on playing for one season anyway which is as a backup for 8 games where i would probably get playing if the game is already won if you understand.
Do any of you here have any tales of learning to play etc, coaches not acknowledging you etc?
Its not like we have a lot of depth as over here the team consists only of people who want to play in the area. The problem is i dont want this experience interfering with my enjoyment of watching the NFL or Saints games. I know i might sound silly but its way too expensive & takes up a lot of my time if i keep it up.
What do you all think?
