It's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part that counts.
It's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part that counts.
A popular motto at school sports days around the UK (although I suspect not the US) and possibly a reason why we never win anything.
Anyway, if this is valid for sports why not also for wars?

Ok, I know what you are saying but it's kind of a reverse point.
Sport seems to me to basically be a way of replacing local tribal conflicts. In which case the point about the taking part being important is complete balls.

You lose a sprint, you don't get the medal/girl/ big leagues contract.
You lose a war your house gets burned, wife and daughters raped and their throats slit and you can't watch the game on TV for a while while they're rebuilding the national team and stadium.
Well I imagine it is not unusual you hear the losing side of war say "yes we lost but we fighted (and will continue to fight)". You don't hear it often perhaps because you are on the side that have more money and better weapons?
Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

Buncha whiney poor sports if you ask me. Shoulda been raised better by their parents.

You forget that winning and lossing is not the whole of the game, it's just the result. Playing a sport is about teamwork as well. Yet, if all ya don't give a sheit than of course it all just becomes about winning and losing, and not caring.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

The South is still whining about that last war.
Makes you question the parenting of those southerners, no?

Eat me.
"It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game" is a prevelent saying here in the US. Many professional atheletes appear to have forgotten it, but I think I'm gonna blame the game there, not the playa.
