cheerleaders??

It's politically incorrect to tell a fat girl she can't be a cheerleader. :roll:

In the same vain as "Not keeping score at soccer games", No winer/no loser, and "participation trophies".

...here's a secret, though, the kids keep score. ;)

Ah the "everybody gets a trophy" syndrome. :D

When I was growing up if you didn't try hard enough or practice enough you flat out lost and no one was going to pretend you were a winner anyway and praise you for losing.
You sucked it up, practiced more, got better and tried again, and again, and again.
This patting everyone on the head just for being there bullshit sucks, and now we have kids that think just because they have a job title that they are a success, even though they don't, or can't do the job.

Both my boys (the two youngest kids we have) are management in Sonic Drive In's in different towns and they are flat disgusted at the lack of work ethic among the young people that get hired.
