Re: Everybody Gets A Trophy
This may be a stretch but it's interesting to hear a perspective and impute it into other situations.

UConn women's basketball has arguable been the greatest all-time dynasty in any sport. This year they've suffered at least three double-digit losses to other top women's teams including the evil empire in Waco.
Rebecca Lobo, a UConn grad and star mentions that you can't have it both ways to the people hand-wringing over UConn's lack of dominance. She said if you say it's bad for women's basketball to have such a dominant team then you can't say it's bad because you don't.
She then said, "You have to appreciate what the game is turning into, what it’s become and how it’s grown,” Lobo says.
So I wonder if what has been proven is this; the greatness of UConn created the current landscape. They pulled the rest of the women's teams up BECAUSE they WON all the trophies fair and square.
