Re: "We Are the Champions" and GP?

It's a song...that's all. There's no subliminal message in it telling us to look down on the losers.

If we're going to go pointing out offensive lyrics, I'd be far more concerned about various rap songs that are played at competition, than something as minor as one word in an otherwise clean song.

Let's face it. Competitions are about winners and losers. There will always be winners, and there will always be losers. We dress it up and call the losers 'finalists'. Just because they lost doesn't mean they're being demeaned or that they didn't accomplish anything.

The day that FIRST competitions become as PC as everything else is nowadays, and turn into 3 days of patting each other on the back and telling everyone what good people they are will be the day FIRST stops being special.
