It doesn't matter if you work hard to earn something and in fact, if you do, you're selfish if you don't share it with the people that choose to not work as hard.TierbsHsotBoobs said:Youth. Sports.Society Demise.
Who are the selfish ones I ask? -
Which is why I always share my awards with friends and family who want to see them.

Two things that stood out to me:
1. Big drop in support of participation trophies after age 24. Chalk that up to real world perspective (Hi CollegeDoog!).
2. The correlation on the yearly earning chart seems to be very strong. Not surprising, but still interesting.
Grundle...I got these off the barstool sports blog, but they were originally published in the Washington Poast. That's my source. Hardy har har. Tee hee.

I would agree that millennials are entitled, but I don't know if that's because they are millennials, or because they are young and lack perspective. There are people that enable this and profit off of it. Fuck them. I think it has more to do with work ethic. You can either believe that you can affect your own outcomes via hard work and persistence, or you can choose to blame someone else for your misfortunes. There is no excuse to not be successful in America. Simple as that.
