"from my rival"

who are you, seto kaiba taking out yugi's grandpa?

Yeah and I hated it

no i always won.

no cause i always win

the biggest novelty was a green participation ribbon

but trophies

🤝

I got a participation medal at a 6-7 year old soccer league tournament once

dont think so tbh

anyway old ppl complain about things we literally had no control over (like participation awards) as if they weren’t the ones that put the system in place

Nah it was this mexican kid who was fast too and we were talking s*** to each other about who would win the sprint event

I forgot what I put on the line, but that was what he bet against me

Yeah I have a few that I still have to this day. I know they’re generally frowned upon but it was a nice gift for a kid who wasn’t the best or most athletic on the team back then. Don’t really think it shifted my perception of winners and losers though I understood that trophy or not

Yea although I won a lot of 1st place awards too tbh

i got a few, but most of the baseball and basketball teams i played on finished in 1st place in our citys league. my friends and i were pretty good growing up, and we always signed up together and played on the same team

im 22 and i only remember getting a participation trophy in baseball and my dad told me to get a real trophy lol, he programmed to me that it didnt mean s*** real young

Yeah but My mom put them all in boxes and didn’t display them

Yea that was pretty much the norm back then

Yeah. I don’t see anything wrong with them either. At least for young kids

I only did little league like one year and nah

Nah i never won s*** in my life

I spit on participation awards

No, I won. If I ever got a participant trophy I’d throw it away out of anger

real nigga s***

Nope
