Can we at least agree that if you are ejected from a youth sporting event you should have your picture in the paper under the title "First Class D-Bag" and be mandated to a year of counseling or is this something to be proud of also?

It's not cofusing them about the value of competition and winning. If it is then the parent is the one to blame.
It's the same ****ing thing, dude. Participation trophies are the same thing as not keeping score, and it's done for the same reasons.

You guys all understand this isn't something new right? They have been given since all of us were kids.... Except maybe Milkman.

I'm not sure how old you are, but that bullshit wasn't happening when I was a kid, and it wasn't happening when my younger brother was coming up behind me, either.

Never happened when I was a kid.

Yep,if you played here you played on a city team and represented your area of town,at the end of the regular season there was an all city tournament with trophies for 1st-3rd place all other teams were SOL and that included T-Ball thru Colt League.

Those kids often do, and you can get them near tears if you play them hard and don't let them score.

Hmm. I know they did it 30 years ago in St. Joe. Teams that won the city tournament at the end got a trophy, but every kid that played baseball in the city also got a trophy, just not as big and as nice. ****ed us all up the rest of our lives for getting those.

I was 21 in St Joe at that time so it's something that had to have started within those 5 years I didn't play.

I agree with your last sentence. I've only been to St. Joe once, but that was enough.
