Post: During the Texans/Jaguars game this past Sunday, the Jaguar's wide receiver dropped the ball for an incomplete pass for the second time in the game. The Jaguars fans erupted in boos to let him know their disappointment. Why boo your own player when lack of effort wasn't the issue? The answer is that effort doesn't matter, only results do. At least this is true for fans of the game. Children must be taught that the world can be cruel. Their best efforts may not cut it in the "real world." Therefore, children should be encouraged and praised for their high effort levels, but surely they must be held responsible for their performance. To not do so is setting them up for failure.
