Vince Lombardi Trophy

given trophies to reward them for finishing the season? Many people think yes it’s a great thing, but many people think it’s also not a great thing. I think that giving youth athletes trophies is not necessary. Kids need to learn at a young age what recieving an award like a trophy really means, but chances are that they won’t. Giving trophies to youth athletes is not necessary because it costs a lot of money, and kids are automatically getting rewarded for doing nothing. Giving out trophies at…

Do you think that kids should get trophies for anything they do? I don’t. Some people think that their child deserves to get a trophy for anything they do like: just showing up, catching a ball, riding a bike and other simple things like that. Some people are asking sports coaches if their children get a trophy for everything and if the answer is yes then some might just walk away. I’m sure I would. If I had a kid I wouldn’t go easy on them when we’re doing sports because if you…

athlete should get a trophy for participating in a sport. Participation awards are a waste of money. Additionally, if every child got a trophy, it will lose its value. It will also be unfair for the other youth athletes that really do try hard. According to the "Trophies for All" policy, youth athletes are being awarded with participation trophies. Not every youth athletes deserve a trophy. Participation awards are a waste of money. Instead of spending money on the trophies, the…

Participation Trophies Over the past few years there has been controversy over whether or not participation trophies are a positive or a negative thing. When a child receives a participation trophy, they will eventually start expecting them whether he or she tries or not. It is common sense that the player or team that gets first place receives a trophy. However, the team or player that does not get first place does not deserve one. It comes to reason that the child might have tried his or her…

Participation Trophies Hinder Kids "If I play a whole game I get a whole snow cone, but if I play a half a game I still get a whole snow cone. It's a whole snow cone either way. I'd rather play half a game." This quote is from one of Brian Regan's performances, "Lousy in Little League", where he talks about the new social norm of rewarding children for participating. While Brian Regan is a comedian, and this was meant to be funny, it does have some truth. Just as Brian Regan said, children…

As each year passes, more facets of popular culture become somewhat like wrestling: a stage-managed reality in which scripted storylines bleed spontaneously into actual events, with the fuzzy line between fact and fiction seeming to intensify, not diminish, the viewer’s obsession with the melodrama. The modern media landscape is scattered with reality shows that viewers know that are not real; that basically, is professional wrestling. In the same vein as soap operas, melodrama can be…

It was the beginning of the football season everyone was excited but nervous at the same time. The team knew that in two hours after take off that the pressure will be on and the other team knew that too. The other team was more confident because they had home field advantage. The home team had more experience than the away team. The away team had two goals which were to have fun and hopefully win. Both team desperately wanted to win and this was because this game shows how ready you…

In the book “This Boy’s Life: A Memoir”, by Tobias Wolf, the author often illustrates Jack’s coping mechanism to escape the unpleasant parts of his life. Using his coping mechanism of imagination made his life more endurable without the restraints that are placed upon him. In particular, his coping mechanism would involve him using his imagination to imagine where he wants to be in life and how much of a different boy he would be if he grew into a high class family that did not have any problems…

The attraction of professional wrestling. Professional wrestling is half theater, half stee chair shots to the head. Professional wrestling may never be commonly understood. Each adult admirer of professional wrestling has encountered those people who turn their heads and ask, “You do know it’s fake, right?” “I don’t care. I love the pageantry, the athleticism, even the incredibly cheesy acting. I look at wrestling as theater at it 's most base, and guess what? So do most of the fans. We know…
