This is and can be absolutly tied to liberal ideology. This is the everybody gets a trophy syndrome. I suspect that the people who came up with this either didn't play football or did not play at a high level and warmed a bench. If you're feeling so bad about yourself...stop the other team. Get better, practice harder, do more squats and hit the oklahoma drill more....nope, instead lets quit and penalize the over achievers. Yet another reason to despise Obama and libs.
