AITA for benching my best friend for a rookie skater before our biggest bout?
ok so backstory, me (27F) and my best friend Dana (28F) have skated together on the same derby team for FOUR YEARS, roomed at every away bout, whole thing. i got voted co-captain this season which already made stuff weird between us bc she wanted it too. last week our coach asked me to help finalize the roster for saturday's bout against our biggest rival, packed house, scouts from the travel team coming to watch. Dana's been skating rough lately, missed practice like 6 times this season bc of her job, and honestly our rookie jammer Priya (22F) has been killing it in scrimmage. i put Priya in Dana's usual blocker slot. Dana found out from the group chat before i told her myself, which i feel like garbage about, and now she's saying i only did it to look good for scouts since i'm chasing a travel team spot too. she's not answering my texts, skipped practice tuesday, and our other teammates are kind of split, some say roster decisions should be about performance not friendship, some think i should've talked to her first or pulled her aside privately instead of letting her see it posted. we've got the bout in 4 days and i genuinely don't know if she's even showing up.
