I've read some criticism of participaton trophies but I don't have a problem with them. When my

sons were young the trophies they received for participating in youth bowling and t-ball had a
place of pride in our house. What I do have a problem with is the Participation Pardons that tRUMP
gives out but then we've always known he's a louse.

What I "DO" hate in sports is the meme that "sports build character" but in most of them, "if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying." And, "if you get away with it, it's not cheating".

Ok, back to your main point. Some of these pardons should be considered criminal activity. When you put murderers back on the streets it is just wrong.
