What next? An 8th grad football team wont be allowed to compete in their league because two of the kids run the 100 in 10.3, A basketball team is kicked out because a kid hits 85% of his free throws....damn

I know what you mean. Shouldn’t we be encouraging excellence in all things?

I played basketball, baseball and football for school teams all the way up through high school and I probably got 3 or 4 trophies (letters, yes)my entire sporting career.

My kids come back from tennis and soccer with trophies for finishing fourth. The world has changed.
