These days, people are not only moving away from those ideals, but they're actually ridiculing them.
Ridiculing them and in some cases demanding that people be punished for it... Like the coach who's girls team went up 100-10 or whatever it was, with the backups playing. Everyone called for his head, had him fired... And why? because the other team was bad.
It's a disturbing trend and IMHO it's because of the way we've been raising our children... Everyone gets a trophy for trying... No failing grades... Everyone is special and no one can be made to feel like they may have failed, everything is equal no matter how hard they try or how much they excel. Fucking no outs in kiddie baseball?!
It's highly, highly disturbing to me.
