Well, I was a kid at the time and I didn’t like getting those trophies despite your assurance that “kids like trophies”. I guess generalizations don’t always work do they?

“It’s about them”. So instead of teaching your kid work ethic, just let them get rewarded for nothing because” it’s about them “.

I don’t think he is humiliating his kids in the least bit. He is honoring them by showing them what is right. Humiliation is being placated by some ridiculous, meaningless trophy. He made this public to make a point to other parents. He’s as tired as the rest of us by the entitled wussies that are being raised by…

I am so goddamn sick and tired of this “waah, everybody gets trophies nowadays” shit.

For whoever has not seen it, it’s worth watching Real Sports on HBO from July where they did a whole piece on participation trophies. They spoke with a psychologist who discussed that trophy culture is legitimately fucking up children and raising their expectations too high for when they hit the real world and…
