“Millennial Day” at Georgetown University: Where everyone gets participation trophies

The Athletics Department at Georgetown is having a bit of self-deprecating fun. Coming next month, Georgetown will celebrate “Millennial Day” complete with an event at a men’s soccer game.

#MillennialDay was announced in a hilariously sarcastic press release.

“At #MillennialDay, you can expect only the most #awesome giveaways (because millennials expect everything to be free) and the most hella cool activities. So that everyone feels welcome at Shaw Field, a #dabbing safe space will be roped off, as well as a halftime naptime break if you ~can’t even~ stay awake for the whole game.

If you’re #thirsty, enter the raffle for a DC area juice gift card. As long as you’re like, basically on time for the game, you will be greeted with not only words of praise but also a PARTICIPATION TROPHY because all #millennials are #special. And for all your social media needs, our mascot, Jack the Bulldog, will be available to take some #Kardashianworthy pregame selfies that you can take and post for either during the game or for a hype #tbt.”

Dabbing, safe spaces, nap time, and participation trophies? Sounds like a millennials dream day!

This event is brought to the Georgetown community from the same folks who hosted “Dad Bod Day” a few years back.

Georgetown Athletics’ noble attempt to fight off the dad bod is admirable, but this flat-out mocking of millennial culture, and in particular snowflake mentality, is awesome. A little bit of satire can go a long way, so let’s hope the outrage bandits don’t latch on to this as another thing to be offended by.
