Trophy Nation: How handing out trophies, regardless of success, may cause failure.

Just like flo said, sprinkles are for winners.

 

Trophies are for winners.

 

Its up to the parents and coaches to teach the kids on the losing side how to handle a loss and work harder to EARN the trophy and more importantly the bitches.

Do they give trophies for sitting inside and playing video games all day? I'm pretty sure that is all kids do these days.

 

I remember not keeping score in t-ball and being infuriated. Why in the world would you play the game if you don't keep score. That is the entire point of a game... otherwise its called practice and, like studying, practice is for people that are inferior.

Studying is for inferior people?  Wow.

Sports are fun. It's something children should do because they love the game and get to run around playing with friends. But sports are also one of the absolute best tools for teaching children. Unfortunately, that happens very rarely. There are two ways it usually goes. A; retarded adults living out their failed athletic ability through their children and taking kiddie leagues way too seriously. B; overprotective parents who want everyone to be equal and everyone gets a big trophy. Both of those approaches can have very harmful effects on the development of children.

hopefully this selfish, tech-addled generation of me-bots won't screw up the great, totally not war and poverty-stricken, egalitarian, environmentally sound collection of societies the much-better one-trophy generations have left us

I blame the Greeks.

I'll never understand why 40yr old men have an aneurysm over kids getting trophies at the end of the season. It's not like they're getting trophies for every game. It's one trophy after an entire season.

Most of those clowns don't even remember what it's like to be 7yr old. I can't think of anybody that has shown me their 3rd grade Tee-ball trophy and said that they could've played in the majors O.o

Bitches always be checkin out my mantle of youth sports trophies. Then i bust out team pictures when the mood strikes

Who cares if kids get a small trophy for participation?  This is howling at the moon bullshit that really has no real world impact.

I got participation ribbons for swim meets when I was a child.

This is dumb.
