<p>NFL star James Harrison is raising his kids right. When he came home and found each of his two sons holding a shiny participation trophy, he snapped a photo and posted it to Instagram along with a message that is ;gaining him the admiration of parents across the nation. The message immediately went viral.  ;</p>
<p>Although he is proud of his sons and their accomplishments, Harrison wants them to understand that in the real world, you don&rsquo;t get a trophy just for showing up. ;Along with the snapshot ;was the announcement that he will be returning the trophies to Next Level Athletics. His touching ;message ended with <em>#harrisonfamilyvalues.</em></p>
<p>&ldquo;I came home to find out that my boys received two trophies for nothing, participation trophies!&rdquo; says the Instagram post. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry I&rsquo;m not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned and I&rsquo;m not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best.&#8221;  ;</p>
<p>Comments poured in by the thousands. ;While a few commenters were offended, the majority ;respected and admired his parenting choices:  ;</p>

<p>&ldquo;One must lose to know what it truly means to win. Something for nothing never made anyone a better person.&rdquo; &#8211; Instagram user Tom Parker</p>
