The money that would've been spent on trophies went towards gear or team dinners. It's kinda stupid since the trophies are cheap plastic and take up space with little to no meaning.

Same here, that's why I keep stuff like that in a nicely organized bin labeled "nostalgia box." -- It's got medals, trophies, old soccer tourney t-shirts, concert tickets, photos, etc. yeah, i used to have something like that too. eventually decided i didn't even need the physical objects anymore, and i really dislike clutter. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. <cite>Darkman124 posted [p:904423406] in I unironic...

They represent accomplishment by winning a competition. Showing up is not an accomplishment nor is it competitive. Depends on what it is.
