I’m guessing those who won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are in that poll’s minority.

everyone who participates in a sport should get a trophy.

True justice occurs when one makes a moral judgment about someone,then acts in accordance with that judgment to give that person what he deserves. Giving everyone trophies is incompatible with true justice because it gives people the unearned and undeserved, and something for nothing.

This is 100% the fault of what they’ve been taught in the Government Indoctrination Centers. Self esteem, feelings, etc.

Welcome to the REAL WORLD where you bust your ass and reasonably expect nothing in return but a paycheck.

Bust your ass consistently, you MIGHT get a raise or promotion. But you don’t control that decision. And it has NOTHING to do with your precious self esteem or feelings.

If you want to go, “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” then do it. But expect nothing in return.

Sorry, I’m really fed up.

There.

I mentally participated a grueling 3.5 hrs nfl game. I should get a trophy, in fact I deserve to be paid like a professional football player.
