Even if;
Champions = the Winners
Losers = EVERYONE else.
my arguement still stands the same. It's a tradition, no reasonable person should get offended, and if you are offended just get some thicker skin.
Also, I'm not saying this with no experience. Just a few months ago we were in the finals against 696 and 330 (2 best teams at San Diego) and beat them the first match, but they had an awesome trick strategy to earn the last two wins for the regional. I am a sore loser, I didn't enjoy losing one bit. But If (I don't even remember if it was) the song was played, I wouldn't take any offense. Their alliance beat us, and to beat someone you have to be better at scoring points.
//Final post of this thread. If you're offended by the song, a competitive event isn't for you.
