Player list

It would be nice if when in the players list it would show which team the player played for. In high school ball there are a few players with the same name and that way you wouldn't merge players with the same name from different teams.

The issue is that players can play for many teams --- many users have the same player on 5 or 6 teams by this point. A "player" is just a person that can play on any number of teams. It is not until they are put on a lineup that they are associated with a team, and they can be associated with an unlimited number of teams.

+1 to the request. Yes, a player can be associated with many teams, but making it easier to see which teams they played for (without having to drill down through the player card) makes the process of cleaning up player lists (merging similarly named players, figuring out if "Tom," "Tom Smith," and "Smith" are all the same player, etc.) easier. If you have three "Tom Smiths" and one of them can easily be seen to have played for an out-of-state tournament team, you can see at a glance that he is not a "merge" candidate. Just have a field that shows every team that player is associated with.....
