In the Remove Items From State video from the React Basics course, we need to identify each player to remove them, and we're already passing the id attribute as a prop named key, in which we parse the id as a string. But, instead of using that, we're shown we need to add another prop, the id as an int, to deal with the removePlayer function. Why is this necessary? Can't we just use the key prop? Can't we parse it as an int when we're calling the function, if we really need to (which I don't see why we'd need to)?
