North Carolina lawmakers introduce bill to ban participation trophies for kids

North Carolina lawmakers introduced a bill to ban giving children participation trophies for youth sports activities.

The three Republican state representatives — Sens. Tim Moffitt, Eddie Settle, and Bobby Hanig — introduced the bill, called Eliminate Participation Trophies, to the state senate on March 30.

The bill says that any award given to children for youth recreation activities must be based on identified performance achievements.

"Youth sports or other youth recreation activities operated under the authority of a local government shall not include awards for participants based solely on their participation in the sport or other activity," according to the proposed one-page bill.


Now, whether you agree with participation trophies or not, I think we could all agree it is not something the government needs to be sticking its nose in to.

They want to control your life and micromanage what you do but we'll take away any help that you get from the government. This is a very sick and evil party!

Thank God someone is trying to reign in the liberal idiocy.

The good thing about these threads, they give the big government loving nanny state folks a chance to self identify.

I have no problem with participation ribbons as long as the nice hardware is awarded to top performers. That's what motivates people and it is a sound lesson to learn early.

There is a wonderful example of the government becoming the nanny state, but liberals approve of it.

If you don't win it all, it's just a participation trophy. The trophy doesn't matter, but the kids need to know they didn't accomplish their ultimate goal. That's the parents job.

I am all for it, just do not think it is a role for the government.

But then again I am not a big government loving nanny state person like you.

It's not the same. The idea of participation trophies is abhorrent. Pot heads will ruin America if given the chance. And women have proven they can't be trusted to make the right decisions with their own bodies.

Why do liberals have our kids playing such an unAmerican game?

Why Soccer Is Un-American

We like scoring too much to enjoy a game that is more about preventing success than achieving it.

Should be easy since you say there are so many.
