Kia Commercial hits "participation" trophies

I liked that add. They also have one where the kid sucks and the Mom knows it, but the Dad won't admit it.
This one? Funny too ... guess I'd see these more if I watched network TV ...Originally Posted by MarkCO

Yep. I saw both during the utter failure of the Browns to receive the gifts the Broncos tried to give them yesterday.
Participation "achievements". Setting kids up for failure in the world since the day they were adopted.

Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

I think if the kids are young it doesn't matter. They are learning to play as a team and picking the sports they like. I've coached and reffed a bunch of kids sports. When they are 8 and younger the difference seems to be their size. There's nothing more I hate than parents who think their kid will be the next Abby Wambach because they are a head taller than everyone else.That being said I love the commercials.
I'm going to politely disagree.
I don't think that teaching young kids that everyone gets rewarded regardless of the outcome is a good idea.
I think they need to learn early on that they get rewarded for their achievements and not just for showing up.
Are they going to cry when they don't get a trophy? Probably. Has not getting a trophy ever killed a kid? I doubt it.
The (better) kids are keeping score, even if the adults aren't.
My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
In addition to coaching I was a referee when my youngest son played soccer. The kids were about 4-5 and we didn't officially keep score. One time a kid on my sons team was proudly stating that they were winning after a goal. I asked him if he knew the score, he said "no." I then asked how he knew they were winning if he didn't know the score. He said "All I know is that we have scored a bunch of goals and they haven't scored any so we must be winning!" He was correct.
