Listen "Columns: A Baffling Bill"
Episode Synopsis
Participation trophy debate makes its way to NC senators By John Engh This headline recently appeared in North Carolina: “NC senators propose eliminating participation trophies for youth sports.” I’m not even going to try to figure out how great life must be in North Carolina if this is something state legislators are focused on, but I am sure there must be more important issues!In brief, the bill would apply to any youth-sports or youth-recreation activities operated under the authority of a local government, and would ban awards for kids based solely on participation in a sport. Instead, awards would be provided “based on identified performance achievements.”
