Fox News
Three Republican North Carolina state lawmakers introduced a bill in late March to ban participation trophies in rec sports sponsored by local governments.
"Youth sports or other youth recreation activities operated under the authority of a local government shall not include awards for participants based solely on their participation in the sport or other activity. Awards provided in connection with the activity, if any, shall be based on identified performance achievements," the bill reads.
As the bill was introduced, local coaches in North Carolina weighed in.
