White men are independent, competitive, do-it-yourselfers.

That's why they are generally Republican and why they wouldn't support participation trophies.

I am a football coach in a large suburban high school. Do you know which sport I refuse to coach because of helicopter parents constantly complaining about their child not playing. The sport where parents write letters to the school board and initiate a witch hunt because the coach dared raise his voice at a player.....Baseball.

Coaching baseball in the suburbs is literally more catty than being the cheerleading sponsor. Forget whether the team wins as long as little Johnny gets his chance to play.

I guess it is because of all the minority kids and Democratic voting parents playing baseball.
