Heroic NFL player Deangelo Williams revokes daughters participation award; Demands she do better!!

[Yousaidwhat]

What a prick.
Abusive parent.

Abusive? That's about as silly as calling Williams heroic.

She said she got a ribbon for winning. He told her she hadn't won (which she hadn't) and gave the ribbon back. If that's abuse, you have an extraordinarily low bar for what constitutes abuse.

If there are 6 people in the race then somebody is going to finish 6th. Why give that kid a hard time ? Abusive parent indeed.

Take them out for pizza and tell them to try harder next time.

Hero? So this elevates someone to the status of say, a soldier carrying an M1 Garand onto Omaha beach?

I mean the delusion of conservatives has reached it's zenith. EVERYTHING to them is some galactic political event and anything that makes them feel good for five minutes MUST be shouted from the mountain tops.

Whack-a-mole.

Still upset I see from being picked last on the hop scotch team...

If that's so, then why even give trophies at that age? It is all about just having fun.

She has plenty of time for DeAngelo to pressure her into winning is the only thing that matters

Binary thinking.

It could just be that he's teaching his daughter that IF you're going to compete, do your best and learn from your mistakes.

Or perhaps that it is much better to earn than to have something handed to you for nothing.

These are good lessons for kids to learn early, so that they don't end up looking for safe places the rest of their lives.
.

At five years old he should be more concerned about whether she had fun

I agree...who really cares?

She is five years old....give her a cookie

WCSC : DeAngelo Williams returns daughter's participation award

NFL running back Deangelo Williams had his young daughter come home so proud and excited from her field day and presented him with her "Participation Ribbon". She had finished 6th place.

He said damn that. Told her she didn't win anything....took it from her....and like the honorable man he is....promptly took it back to the communist public school and return their worthless award. He told her if she wanted an award....she had to finish top 3 and then she could keep her prize.

Guess what??? She went back. And won 1st place!!! See....rejecting the liberal mindset leads to greatness.

This great man should win an award for this rare display of common sense that our country is rapidly losing.

Overreaction on his part

She looks like about five or six. At that age they get excited over any recognition

She has plenty of time for DeAngelo to pressure her into winning is the only thing that matters

Maybe at age 5 I could agree with you. But once they turn 6 they need to have set their priorities for life.
How else are they going to deliver their vision ? The time for play is over !

 

[Mac1958]

Evidently some parents here didn't start trying to teach their kids life lessons until they felt it wouldn't hurt their "feelings".

Five year olds need to know they are better than others and by how much
It also gives parents an opportunity to positively measure how much better parents they are than others

Very good point

Five year olds better start learning that their feelings come second to winning and losing

You must have had a piss poor childhood.

You expect a 6 year old to act like an adult.

 

[Mac1958]

This terror the Regressive Left feels over "winning and losing" is fascinating.

You win some, you lose some. Try to maximize the former and minimize the latter.

Nothing wrong with failing. It's one of life's great teachers.

Even if it does "hurt" your "feelings", temporarily.
.

 

[Yousaidwhat]

Simple solution.

She won the rest of the competition's.

I'd have asked her if she wanted the participation award and if she did to go get it.

Her response would probably be no.

Obviously the usual recidivists are on here trying to get back to the fifties but I have a question about this.
Is there a link between "second place is failure" and the regular slaughters that take place in American schools ,and cinemas, and churches ?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Youth sports are more competitive than ever. The meme that we are softening kids up by giving them participation awards is bullshit.

Kids who want to compete at the highest levels will do so. Getting a participation award won't stop them from achieving. Idiots.

Look...it's a tough world

Five year olds need to learn to start sucking it up and taking it like a man. Participation ribbons are for pussies

Kids are smart.

Good habits and attitudes can be learned at an early age.

That way they don't end up in constant search of safe places.

I think we have enough people who think they're victims.
