How many posters here were born after 1980? Did you get a trophy every time you took a excrement? If you ever received some sort of trinket of consolation after not winning something, did you care about it at all?
Just barely born in the 80s. I feel like some of the sports leagues I was in as a kid did give out trophies to everybody, but I honestly am not sure. There were participation rules as a little kid that were sometimes frustrating to follow, like everyone had to play a certain amount of time, and I remember some vague animosity toward teams who tried to bend/break those rules.
