And it\u2019s important in life that you understand and learn how to fail and how to succeed because you can be good or bad at either. And you\u2019re gonna lose a lot in life and you\u2019re gonna win some. And I think it teaches you how to do both of those things because you\u2019re going have to know how to do it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Justin, who just released his latest song, \u201cWhy We Drink,\u201d also believes participation awards are terrible for teaching kids about work ethic.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe other thing that I think is awful about the participation awards stuff is, you have to know that the work you put in results in one thing. If you put a lot of work in and effort and energy into something, you\u2019re going to reap the rewards of that. And if you don\u2019t, it\u2019s just the opposite. And so, I think it\u2019s failing our kids when we have that mentality personally.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Justin knows about work ethic, having worked hard for over a decade to build his career, and continuing to work hard to maintain that career, by touring and creating great albums, like his latest, Late Nights and Longnecks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Justin Moore, who has four kids and coaches some of their sports teams says it&#8217;s terrible that some kids sports teams are putting less emphasis on winning or losing and instead hand out participation trophies and ribbons.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":10257,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[254,1104],"class_list":["post-10255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-justin-moore","tag-why-we-drink"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 23:22:41","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2019\/10\/justin-moore-is-not-a-fan-of-participation-ribbons\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10255"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10256,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10255\/revisions\/10256"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
