That's how it should be.

I never even got second place trophies when I played sports growing up. You win you deserve one. If you don't then tough shite get better and win it next time.

"I came home to find out that my boys received two trophies for nothing, participation trophies! While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they EARN a real trophy. I'm sorry I'm not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned and I'm not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best...cause sometimes your best is not enough, and that should drive you to want to do better...not cry and whine until somebody gives you something to shut u up and keep you happy. #harrisonfamilyvalues"

I'll never understand why y'all get so mad about participation trophies. It honestly means nothing.

If you accept a participation trophy at the end of your U-6 rec league, you are a beta pussy who will never make it. Fact.

Meh, if you care that much, do it privately and not make a public Instagram production about it.

Unless you're gunning for your first place trophy in Attention Whoring.

Exactly!

Also, people want to act like this just started happening and contributes to the "pussification of America". When it actually started happening a really long time ago.

Why get so upset about something that is meaningless?

It's not "nothing". We have raised generations of kids that have been prevented from experiencing any negative circumstance in life.

The real question is: why are liberals so vested in this type of parenting/child rearing?
