WTF is this shite? My nephew came over and he had a big arse ring that looked like something you get when you win the Super Bowl. His dad, my brother (who ironically hates sports) said their team won some kinda of championship for their travel ball team. They got a gold medal as well. The kid is 11 years old for crying out loud.

Yea and their trashy parents make them shake jugs in traffic and start gofundme accounts to pay for their travel to tournaments.

But hey, at least they can upload pics to Facebook of 8 year old Johnny and his championship rings from coach pitch ball

I started a similar thread earlier this spring. Rings are so fricking dumb.

Yeah, they used to give trophies for tourney champs and runners up. The rings are cheaper.

It'll give kid something once he gets older to pawn online when he gets in a pinch.

So, he can buy his drugs/alcohol/whores to support his addiction to suppress his feelings of resentment toward his parents for forcing him to live a life they are trying to live vicariously through him to find meaning in their own sad and pathetic lives.

Once at the height of recreational fame, he descended into playground obscurity, alienating those closest to him and trading his championship ring to fund a two bag a day Sour Patch Kids habit.

My son plays in soccer tournaments every weekend, and they just get medals for first or second. It started s year ago and we bought a shirt at the first one, now he doesn't even want that much. They won the tournament today and he got a gold...add it to the closet door handle and back to practice on Monday. I'm hoping this 6 days a week soccer doesn't last long.

When I was coaching youth football, we lost the championship game one year and the league wanted to give our kids trophies. Nearly every single dad passed on them or told their son to put the trophy down.
