Professional football player James Harrison took his two kids participation trophies away from them and sent them back "until they earn a real trophy". This action sparked up a huge discussion about participation trophy's on social media. Majority of parents are saying that getting rewarded for loosing will make their kids believe that they are always entitled to something, and makes them believe that they are better than they actually are. Parents believe that if they are being rewarded for failing all their life by the time they make it to college they will automatically expect to be successful at everything and won't know how to take it if they fail.
