Grandson Elijah’s T Ball team played in the Fall Ball Tournament this evening. His team won 26-12. They did an outstanding job, batting and fielding. The losing team was awarded medals while the winning team watched and applauded for them. Afterward, Elijah said, “But we won! You mean we have to lose to get a medal?” He could not understand it. It doesn’t make any sense, even to a six year old. Of course, his team gets to play again in the tournament. If they lose, they will get a medal. For showing up maybe? We wouldn’t want any hurt feelings. Only in America, folks. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

Well how dumb is that? Elijah's team should get a medal AND get to continue on in the tournament! Doesn't make sense to an adult, let alone a 6 year old!
Backwards!!! Go, Elijah!!!!
Political correctness run amok! Makes no sense. Way to go Elijah. Proud of you :0)
