Re: "We Are the Champions" and GP?

This song demeans the finalist team, we should remove it from every sporting event everywere. The red alliance is bad too, red makes people feel bad, we should get rid of that, maybe blue and purple teams. Losing also demeans the losing team, so we should take away the scoring. Well then one robot or team in general may perform better then one of the other teams, we should take out the game. And wait, one of the robots may look better then the other teams, we should take away the paint and the colors and stuff from robots and other sporting teams. Man sports are only about one thing, the winner, that demeans the losing teams. Man we should get rid of them all. Man i dont know about these sports. I feel demeaned just thinking about their demeaningness.




p.s. i think the song is fine, there are many ways you can look at losers and champions, one is that no one in FIRST is a loser, so therefore that line does not refer to any one in the compititon. Another way you can look at it is the same way that JaneYoung said it. That you have to put losing out of your mind. You could also look at it the way Karthik said, look at it for inspiration. For you to look at something to work harder to get, that next goal, that next step.

And as for finding a new song to fit in its place, i have found a great one:
We Are the Champions by Queen.
