This trend is so stupid. The kids that aren't so good, we say, if you feel bad losing, don't worry we will change the rules so there doesn't have to be any real compitition.
To the better kids, we say, don't really do your best because your competitors are emotionally fragile and if you do your best they may feel bad.
It is a game for christsakes. The game itself is a reward - win or lose. These kids aren't outside doing yardwork, mowing grass, working in the family store, they are playing a godamned game and the most important thing has become to teach them that this game is so powerful it can hurt your feelings, so we aren't really going to let you play the game, we are going to play a modified game so your feelings are never hurt.
What is wrong with this country?
