Three state senators in North Carolina are aiming to ban participation trophies in sports. The bill says, “Youth sports or other youth recreation activities operated under the authority of a local government shall not include awards for participants based solely on their participation in the sport or other activity. Awards provided in connection with the activity, if any, shall be based on identified performance achievements.”

People behind the bill claim that participation trophies are teaching children to be just “okay” and are no longer striving for greatness.

Are they jerks for this? The conversation lives on Facebook!
