This is what happens when kids are given participation trophies

I totally agree. America wasn't built on participation

I got a participation trophy for voting Tuesday.

It's a Rodrigue blue dog.

Worth $5 on Ebay right now.

"I voted" = "My candidate should win"

"I didn't get what i want" = Riot, bitching, throwing tantrums

When I see their little socialist flags flying and hear their chants about taking the "fight" to the streets of America, all I can do is chuckle.

These are babies. These are people who do not know the cost of a real struggle. These are people who are afraid of guns and wilt at an unfriendly word.

The media are now asking "how will Trump build bridges with these angry young protesters?" Build a bridge?? Satisfy their demands?? HOW ABOUT HE IGNORES ALL 5000 OF YOU AND MOVES FORWARD WITH HIS AGENDA USING A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS AND SUPREME COURT?

Elections have consequences. Cry on, babies.

Agreed. Parents aren't preparing their children for failure, so when failure comes, they have no idea how to handle it.

For all you Hillary supporters.

I disagree, I coach baseball and kids learn to win or lose on the field. When I give trophies I talk to the kids about all of the things I seen in them that earned them a trophy for their season and their hard work. Kids just want to be recognized and it's great for the soul. In tball and youth baseball you don't have to give trophies or medals but watching their face light up and giving them praise makes it all worth it. Participation trophies are not the downfall of this country and its a silly assertion.

I'm just happy my child is out participating and not sitting at home on an iPad. I've been coaching youth sports since my oldest was 4 and now I'm coaching both of my boys. My oldest son plays 8u baseball and he's a black belt in tae Kwon do. My oldest son is also very hard on himself and loves to get praise. Athletics aren't something that comes natural to him so he has to work harder at it than most kids but he's an all star player because of that hard work. In the classroom he's exceptional. He's never made below a 95 and His reading level is near 7th grade and his math near 5th grade and he gets rewarded for that as a second grader because schools reward kids for academics however I do reward my child for his hardwork on the ball field and I know how much it means to him. Children a lot of times come from broken homes and the praise on the field is the only praise they get and they live for that stuff. Be happy kids are out of the house and actually involved.
