Re: "We Are the Champions" and GP?

I'm afraid one of your underlying assumptions is false. I Googled the lyrics, and came up with the following chorus in multiple places:

Quote:

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

Given that FRC has long aimed to use the more desirable aspects of sports, I think a tasteful moment of celebration for the teams who find themselves at the top of their field is appropriate. If nothing else, it makes perfectly clear to those who might be less game-savvy in the audience that the on-field competition has, in fact, concluded.

I don't see any GP issue, and am all for keeping it.
