Unless they're saying everyone gets a first place trophy, or we're not keeping score. as long as there's some distinction i don't see the problem with them.

but a lot of arguments against are based on PT's being a slippery slope to those things, or a story about some ultra progressive school where they don't keep score

overall it's whatever though. some kids will be happy they tried, others will still see them as Ls and be like fuck that, i wanna win.
