Giving out participation trophies to all the kiddies is what started all this.

Those kids stopped playing sports ages ago. What started it is the opposite. Getting way too competitive too early. Everything is a club today, year round training, AAU, etc. Adults turned youth sports into high pressure situations.

And social media. Don't forget social media.

Boards like this one are to blame too - no?

To a degree, but 10 years ago, before social media and AAU in full swing, these boards didn't have too much of an effect.

Now, we perpetuate the problem by echoing everything that's out there.
