Jones: Parents plague youth sports more than participation trophies

VIDEO: Little league team has no chance of winning Softball World Series after opposing coach claimed team cheated

So now we know what's wrong with kids these days:

Trophies.

Steelers linebacker James Harrison thinks so. He refused to keep trophies given to his sons, ages 6 and 8, for participating in a youth league.

Harrison wrote on Instagram: "While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they EARN a real trophy. I'm sorry I'm not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned and I'm not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best.
