I had a long one to type out ... But ... I surrender, I agree ... we must stop them from passing out "Sissy Awards", it is interrupting, and infuriating to the ones that truly deserved to be honored for their accomplishments at the age of 12.
 
I'm lost for an answer .. Is it some older men that are living vicariously through their kids accomplishments? ... and they aren't happy that their kids are not being  individually recognized to their approval standards by arbitrarily giving out participation trophies? ... BooHoo(ish)? ... How would it look any different by anyone not understanding?
 
Again, try to really think about this ... Why has a participation trophy just became a sissy/loser trophy? I didn't make it a bad thing. It wasn't me. Can you say you didn't either? (not "you" you ... "any" you)
 
And we are the smarter sex? Or the stronger one? I forget these simple things. I hate to lose to the opposite sex, so I expect a few of you to Buck up and get back on the team. We can't let "Females" beat us like this. :thumbsup:
 
Just why has this "participation trophy" became the "Fight For The Kids" that the grown men feel is justified? Would it be better to number each Trophy? Say the best player gets A1 (179 pounds, 6'-2") ... and the worst one gets H8 (87 pounds, 5'-1" ... glasses taped together, crappy cheap shoes, uses the same jeans for play as he does for church ... probably weighs 87 pounds because his sister beats him up for the last spam slice)?
 
 
 
 
 
 
It could happen. :woot:
