Pros And Cons Of Playing Sports Essay
Today, I heard about a participation argument over trophies being gave for participating in sports. They get a trophy for playing the sport when they did not earn it. Parents don’t realize what they are doing to their kids by just giving them things without and work or earning it.

It’s not at all just look at our sophomore classes’ basketball team we know we have talent we just haven’t worked hard enough yet. We will get there though, our team will improve and learn to cope with each other as a team.
Clearly, I have given my counter argument. I believe that playing sports will get you a trophy you shouldn’t. That’s why I’m explaining my counter argument. I will hope that they stop giving these away for not earning anything and simply being handed a
