They didn't want anybodies feelings hurt by losing. They did not allow "chatter" at the batter or pitcher, weren't allowed to call a kid by name but rather by number-a name was too personal.
Everybody gets a ribbon.
What a child learns in youth sports teaches lessons for their entire life.
What on earth ever happened to letting children excel?
You lose a game it motivates you to play better as a team.
If you don't learn how to lose a game with grace and sportsmanship as a child how do you encounter losing at something in life later?
Life is all about winning and losing.
Success and failure.
Life is not equal.
Life is not fair.
It has nothing to do with the Constitution.
It is called the Pussification of a nation.
