 NFL player James Harrison is declaring war on the trophies kids get for simply showing up and playing a sport.  Harrison wrote on Instagram that he would return participation trophies that his eight and six-year-old sons recently brought home.

He went on to say: “I’m not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned and I’m not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best.”

 

Reaction to Harrison’s decision has been mixed.  Some say the kids did earn the awards for trying their best, while others say they appreciate what Harrison is teaching his kids, including some of his teammates.

So what do you think?  At what age should kids stop receiving participation awards?
