I think that participation trophies are good for a team with 6 year olds on it, but for any team with people older than that shouldn’t have them. Just because someone participates in a sport doesn’t mean that they’re actually trying and putting effort into it. Trophies should go to the people who put the work in for that sport.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes,because everyone in the team worked hard and tried their best.

# data[].attributes.body
No, not everyone deserves a trophy for just being there. People should strive to win.

# data[].attributes.body
yes because they are hard working

# data[].attributes.body
no because it´s not fair to the people who really try, you shouldn´t be awarded for something you didn´t do

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because everyone on the team is trying their hardest so they should all get a trophy for trying.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because if you do not win why should you get something. The player should not be playing for a trophy they should be playing because it is fun.

# data[].attributes.body
The answer would have to scale with the age of the person, and the age of the the team as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
participation trophies are probably more embarrassing the older you get. in my opinion once you are at least 13 it is embarrassing. if you are trying to stop a baseball team of 8 year olds to not cry about losing it is a good idea

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because they all worked hard.

# data[].attributes.body
No, this puts the person in a mindset where they think they are going to get recognized every time. Someone could be really trying and there could be someone else who didn't give it their all.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because it's fair to recognize the entire team's hard work every now and then. However, it shouldn't happen all the time, just so that it motivates them to work harder each time.

Audrey Jurado                    No, because teams try really hard to win and if you lose you should be able to be the bigger person and accept that you lost with out having a participation award.

they did participate as a team and worked together.

# data[].attributes.body
no because some people work harder and some ppl get benched

# data[].attributes.body
no if they don't go to practices they shouldn't get one

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because everyone probably did a good job maybe

# data[].attributes.body
No because only the winners deserve trophies

# data[].attributes.body
yes i think that technically they should get a trophy
because they did play

# data[].attributes.headline
No, because if you get a trophy for showing up then you will most likely not try your hardest to get a first or second place trophy. Thats something that you have to put in effort for.

# data[].attributes.body
No , because not everyone participates at the same capacity..

# data[].attributes.body
yes, as long as they tried their best

# data[].attributes.body
no. because some players don't  do anything but weigh the team down because they were messing around or just not good at the sport.

# data[].attributes.body
no because then people would not try hard if everyone is going to win at the end

# data[].attributes.body
Some people don't try

Yes sports team should get a participation trophy because most people don't want to participate because they think that they would be bad at it.

# data[].attributes.body
No, because if you give everyone a participation trophy they will never learn how to handle losing. The

# data[].attributes.body
i believe not because if you do not win i do not think you should receive anything for just being there, i think if you earn it then you deserve it.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. When it is a team sport, everyone should get a trophy because they all participated in the tournaments. With out them, the outcome of the result would differ.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because well they're all there and they're participating in it. But unless they're being a real jerk about the whole sport that's a yeah no from me chief.

# data[].attributes.body
I mean I guess but people should be able to handle losing and wining, in which we have to go through when playing sports.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people don't try because they don't get anything out of it so maybe if they gave everyone a trophy they would try a little harder.

Should everyone on a sports team get a participation trophy? Explain.
