In this new era of oversensitivity, sports have gone from a competitive activity with clear winners and losers, to one that doesn’t differentiate between the two. Where the phrase, “Well, you tried your best” or “You’ll get them next season” used to be enough for young athletes, hurt feelings and oversensitive parents are now demanding more.

I commend his actions. Thankfully, James Harrison did what I Wish other parents would have done & stopped this nonsense when it started. Its part of the indoctrination in preparation for surrender.
James Harrison is a true Pittsburgh Steeler. A real man, not a new age jellyfish.
Big deal. When I grew up kids knew the difference between a participation trophy and a all star trophy. The participation trophies had team pictures I’m glad I still have. Next to the others.
