What is a story you wanted to tell on AskReddit but haven't been given a chance to?

When I was 12, my Dad had a buddy who coached a pee-wee football team. Coach, as I'll refer to him from now on, had two sons who played football as well. They got to talking, and asked me if I would want to play football with their oldest son on their team. At the time, I had only played soccer and only as the goalie because I was kind of a chubby kid who hadn't hit puberty yet. What I didn't know was that this team was VERY into pee-wee football. The team consisted of many of the same players who had traveled the country the previous season because they were very good.

So fast forward to when hell week arrives and I realize pretty quickly that I've made a huge mistake joining this team. I literally got my ass kicked, 5 times a week for months on end through tackle drills and endurance training etc. The coaches wanted me off this team very badly, because the league had rules preventing them from benching players during games. My Dad would not let me quit though, out of pride because it was his friend who coached. So not only was I having a tough time, but the coach was pairing me with our toughest linebacker for tackling drills, where I would get my shit rocked over and over for hours at a time. The whole time the coach is telling me to quit, and I'm like "I fucking want to, but I can't so fuck you" kind of thing (not in those exact words obv). The end of the season finally comes around, and they are handing out the trophies. They get to the last trophy, and it's the most obvious participation trophy i've ever seen. I can't remember exactly how they worded it, but it was somewhere along the lines of "most unwilling to quit" or some shit. Anybody who says that millenials are full of themselves because of participation trophies can seriously suck a dick. That shit is humiliating, everybody knows that you don't really deserve shit.
