Also, just to throw something else in here, most of the losers don't even care.

For example, yesterday, 2199 has a horrible, horrible showing at BoB. Like 0-6-1 if not worse. Our arm had to be taped up to even be of use as blocker.

But the whole drive home and for another couple of hours sitting in our future chief engineer's basement, we were still talking about how awesome the day was and what other teams did right. There was of course talk about how we screwed up, but all of it was just seeing what we could do right next time. Honestly, we didn't much care we lost so much as it would have been cool if we had won. And we're a rookie team. Experience teams and players will already be used to this sort of thing.

We lost, badly, but it doesn't matter. No one cared about We Are The Champions, because it's tradition and anyone who has grown up in this culture knows it. It's celebratory for the winners, and the losers know it's directly aimed to offend them. It's tradition and that's all it is.
