Yep, that’s how it used to be. These days our society is into their “feelings” way too much. Little league baseball, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place got trophies, period. Made me want to try harder. No incentive now with everyone getting a trophy/award…

And when it comes to baseball, there are travel teams that play in tournaments every weekend for I guess 6-8 weeks.. And each tournament they play in they win rings (obviously not real gold rings), but they way they do the tournaments and the quality of teams, etc if a travel team that plays regionally plays 6-8 weeks, they are more than likely to win at least one tournament. They can get the shite beat out of them in most tournaments, but they will get to one where the 3 other teams are really bad. And they are all excited about getting rings. Why? For being the better of the worst?
