Participation Trophies

These days, I see a lot of comments on social media from those Gen X and older about the “trophy generation”.

In over 4 decades on this planet, I’ve seen some glorious things and I’ve seen some things that would make the devil himself blush.

But I have NEVER, ever, in my entire life seen a 7 year old walk into a trophy store, lay down his own money, and walk out with 25 trophies.

Just like there are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners, maybe, just maybe, those throwing stones at the younger generation should take a long hard look at their own generation, since y’all were the ones who raised this generation.

p.s. the reason they can’t drive stick, is all you older folks stopped buying sticks in the 90’s (probably because you couldn’t drive a manual either), so manufacturers stopped making them. Supply and demand are real.
