You missed my point. I loved that clip. Been there a number of times back in the day.

Not the Boomers. When I was a kid only the winners of the league or tournament got trophies. In HS, you didn’t get a letterman’s jacket unless you participated in 50% of the quarters in FB or BB. When I coached my kids everyone wasn’t getting trophies. In HS, They also had to earn a letter before they could get a jacket. I would say GenX probably started the participation trophies.
Sounds like we are around the same age. I remember when you had to earn something the hard way......now it's basically handed out for free. It's why MOST kids are pussies.

I got a trophy at the end of every rec season of sports I played, starting in 1981. This was in Florida and maybe they did things differently than the rest of the country. We weren’t buying them for ourselves, it was the parents (Boomers). So if we were ground zero for participation trophies, I guess we could pinpoint the Florida Boomers for starting the trend.

So do you yell at kids to get off your lawn too and have to get up 8 times a night to pee. Every old ass person says that shit. Showing up is half the battle and rewarding someone for that does not make them a pussy. You know there are still MVPs and championship trophies that are played for and won right and are prized dramatically more than the participation trophies. Shit it gives someone a job to makes those and it adds to the economy. What a horrible take and people are dumber for having read it.

Sounds like someone received a lot of participation trophies as a child. 🤔🤣

Rumor has it the Confederates were the ones that invented Skyline chili over a campfire back in 1863.

Whoooooa! Hold on, now. I'm all for a good joke, but you went too damn far with that right there.

There were no known units of Greek immigrants in the Confederate ranks, but there were a group of Greeks in the Union army.

Skyline is Abraham Lincoln’s fault, is what I’m saying.
