There has been a recent controversy on whether kids should get participation trophies. People say that they should, but others disagree. The person to start the debate was James Harrison linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He thinks kids shouldn’t get participation trophies, and I agree. I think kids need to learn why getting a trophy for showing up isn’t good. If you didn’t do good you shouldn’t get a reward for doing bad. That’s like getting a cookie for bad behavior, and that never happens right? It doesn’t make any sense. Sure it makes you feel better but you would feel even better if you beat everyone and got a big trophy that you actually earned. But others Disagree and think they should get participation trophies.
