AYSO hates me too

At last night’s board meeting I asked the board why we give trophies to every child.

What happened to a trophy for 1st place, a smaller trophy for second place and medals for third place?

Anyone ever heard the term false praise? The response, of course, was, “You go and tell the 6 year olds that they don’t get trophies.”

Uh, okay. I guess I’d tell them that they’d have the opportunity to earn a trophy too. Cuz, ya know, raising a nation of sissies seems to be on the agenda.
