Episode description

Episode 7 discusses a controversial moment when Jame Harrison, NFL player, took away his kids participation trophies. At the time that this happen, many were upset about what Harrison did, and Cape’s and Drew’s immediate reaction was similar. The two discuss how they quickly shifted to agreeing with what Harrison did and applauded the lesson that he sent to his sons. From there, the two host discuss this new concept that “everyone should get a trophy” and its implications of creating a generation of entitled people who don’t work for anything but still want the praise as if they are deserving. The conversation transitions to both of their experiences being around young talent who are currently in the pros now and just how special you have to be to make it to that level. Cape and Drew then discuss the power of social media and the effects that it is having on student athletes and the fake reality that it could be creating for them.
