I agree with this 100%. Kids play with more passion and it makes the game so much better to watch than giving 0-10, 1-9 teams playoff spots. I have always looked at football as a sport that prepares you for real life. When you get knocked down, do you lay there or get back up? Things in real life aren't going to be given away, you have to earn it. The kids should have to earn a playoff spot not be given one. This "everyone gets a trophy" era is garbage. Prepare the kids for life and make them earn it instead of making them feel good about themselves now and then when the real world comes and they get stepped on they don't know how to handle it.
