Hmm was having this rather interesting convo on msn with one of my good friends tonight, and the topic inevitably turned to the school.
I guess the issue here is about sportsmanship. Speaking on behalf of my friend here. Is there something wrong with the sch culture? Are we becoming so focused on winning that we're making losing out to be a bad thing, when in fact the process is just as, if not more impt, than the result? Case in pt: Annoucement of House standings. Did it really have to be: "There had to be a champion"? Couldn't it have just been "Hi all, hope everyone had fun at IHC, here are the results"?
Are we, as Rafflesians, not winning with humility anymore I sort of get his pt. I think recently a cca announced that they'd laid the SMACKDOWN on the opposing teams during a compi to emerge champions. Are we winning and glorifying ourselves at the expense of our opponents? And comparing RJ's facilities to those of less well known schs, we're on an unequal footing to begin with. Does it really even matter in the end? The winning?
Just some food for thought.
ABUNDANT PEACE :)
