Quick question, who gave them the trophies?
I'm not sure what you're asking. The gen x'ers were the group bringing this trend in mass to the younger millennials in the context of children's sports.
By and large most millennials were children of boomers. Even a boomer born in '46 would only be 19 and average at first birth hovered around 24 for their generation. Most kids born from 1980-1991 which covers 75% of the years millennials were born had boomer parents. Math isn't on your side and you keep saying Gen Xers did it, but what proof do you have?
