Screw Participation Trophies

My son has been on great teams and not so great teams, but his trophies don't reflect that. He's been on gritty, undefeated teams in leagues that refused to recognize 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. And he's gotten championship trophies for teams with elitist coaches where he had to sit frustrated on the bench for much of the season. Is that why we haven't displayed them on shelves as planned? Or is it  the real reason I'm having trouble motivating to go to today's game after 11 years of a confusing mix of lessons from inspiring coaches as well as hypocritical coaches?
