Re: "We Are the Champions" and GP?

It's been said before, it's been said again: GP is an internal yardstick. I can't (properly) judge whether someone else is acting in a graciously professional manner, only whether I see that action as GP or not.

The song overall is one of accomplishment. The references to "losers" can be associated with thousands of possible explanations (or so my English 102 professor drilled into my head over many a red-ink-covered paper). Same goes with the "we" that are the champions.

I agree with the Long-Named One--there is nothing wrong with celebrating the winners through this song.
