Everybody Wins! (NOT!)

Tweet

My kids are all out of school now and only one was into sports when she was in middle school. I have grand-kids in school but they don't have an interest in sports. So even though this does not directly impact me, I have something to say about it. It seems the new policy in child sports is: "Everyone Wins". This is so that the child won't get discouraged or disappointed when they lose! Uh huh. Sure! Why not teach the child that philosophy? That's how it works in real life, isn't it? It works that way in sports, at work, in marriage, etc. Everybody's a winner! That's a really stupid thing to tell a child! You need to tell the losing a game is not FATAL!! Life goes on.
