"We Are the Champions" and GP?

[Dan Petrovic]

The thing is, everyone knows that winning isn't everything. Regardless of what the song says, we all know that there is more to FIRST than winning and robots.

The song is 3 minutes long. And it gets played once in celebration of the champions. This is their 3 minutes, and naturally, because they won, they should have a prettier celebration. A big trophy, gold medals, and a 3 minute song.

I'll say it again. I think the the lyrics support what teams go through in building the robot more than how they would go against the ideals of FIRST. I know you're going to say that FIRST isn't all about robots. However, a great deal of FIRST is about the robots, When it comes to the field at competition, it is about the robots, but we don't let the competitive spirit get in the way of sportsmanship and Gracious Professionalism. This is why I don't see a problem with the song or with it being played.

If that line was "the losers are no-good idiots" then that would be a different story, but that's not the case.

In conclusion: My opinion says that this song does not go [strictly] against the ideals of FIRST (while those two lines might) and that it can continue being played at competitions (although I wouldn't mind seeing it go).

I keep reading cause I always love a debate.
