onClick={() => props.removePlayer(props.id)}
And why can't you access it like this ?
onClick= {props.removePlayer(props.id)}

4,323 PointsBy adding the parenthesis at the end, you will invoke the function immediately. But wrapping this in an anonymous function, () => you can prevent this behaviour until the onClick handler is triggered.
Note that if you do not need to pass a property to your function you CAN use onClick={props.removePlayer}
But onClick={props.removePlayer()} will trigger when the component is rendered.
Hope that helps!
