He may feel that's what's going on, but it would not be accurate. I've coached plenty. I didn't recognize mediocrity. I awarded effort.

If you have people in society who believe they are entitled to anything, there's a whole **** ton of factors to blame, but I can't see how it could be attributed to American culture.

It's a whiny point by someone who likes to think his life was a lot harder than kids may have it today.
