I see no issue in paying a league fee for equipment, coaching, and use of facilities. That doesn't mean it should automatically equate to a "must-win" mentality. That's the problem, I think. Should we be expecting that level of competitiveness at 8 years of age simply because we're paying a league fee? I think not, but maybe I'm alone in that assessment. I pay $500 for my kid to play Pop Warner, and that's cheap compared to what some here are paying for soccer. I don't go into it with any expectation that he does anything but learn how to play the game because I paid that fee.
