If you're going to a tournament and you're guaranteed playing 6 games, the kids are less likely to be pissed off if they lose their first two. His larger point was that if they're being guaranteed all these games, you get fewer kids who will chew off their own arms to win and more college coaches bitching about how their players are all entitled wimps and they have no leaders.

Rec league has a scheduled amount of games. Is that leading to entitlement culture?

Should we move to getting rid of schedules and go with single elimination tournaments? If you lose, you can no longer play baseball for the rest of your life
