Good Decision. This shows a father who looks closely, and is involved with his kids routines. A less involved parent would have just said, “Oh, you got a trophy! Good for you. Put it on the mantle, next to your other participation trophies.”

Each post I make on FR is another step towards the FR participation trophy, right?

My brother was a soccer coach. He had to quit because everyone thought they should have a trophy...just for showing up.
He would applaud this Dad.

My son once received a participation trophy.
He broke his elbow on the first play of the very first T ball game he was ever in.
We went to some of the games through the season and watched and then went to the very last one where they gave it to him
He keeps it as a joke.
He also has a tire off my truck that he shot with his one and only accidental discharge from a .22 rifle, I forced him to keep it in his room for years.
He does not think that one is so funny.

This Spring I was at the Maryland State high school track meet. Every kid there had to either meet a qualifier time, distance, height, etc, or place in the top three in their region. The top three finishers in each event at States got a medal.
One kid was visiting his parents behind us, and he had on a medal (hey, top three in the state? that is pretty good!). His five year old sister saw the medal and said, “why did they give you a medal? that just means, good job, you tried hard.”
Kids aren’t stupid, they know it is BS.

Pittsburg Steelers?
Never heard of the "Pittsburg Steelers", however we have the "Pittsburgh Steelers" in western PA.
James is a stand up guy.

Good for him. There is some integrity in the black community.

Participation trophies rank right in there with those mamsy pamsy pee wee games where there are no winners and no losers. Good on Harrison.

Going hunting with your father and other relatives is better than sports anytime. No “particapation trophies" in hunting. you either come home with game you shot, or not.
