Are they trying to produce a generation of nancy boys?

It's definitely different then when I was a kid. You used to practice and 'try out' for the football team, and sometimes you didn't make it. Sometimes you got cut, and sometimes, you even got the crap knocked out of you by the team or the coach during practice. No more. Now they have 4 different teams that the kids are ranked in. Oh, and no more 1st, 2nd and 3rd place; everyone gets at least a participation trophy. I guess it all started when they quit letting the teachers control their clrooms with a biff to the head or a kick in the ***. They can't even play kill ball (dodge ball) anymore!! Ugh.
