Frankly, I think this whole "everybody is a winner" philosophy robs people of the chance to learn how to win graciously. IMHO, it's the better lesson to learn in life.

It robs people of the chance to win, period.

When everyone is the best, then no one is. Imagine if 4 teams won the Superbowl each year.. or if 3 men won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.. or if 10 contestants were crowned "The new American Idol"... Winning would ultimately lose it's value.

I'd rather be ranked #25 in my graduating class than have to share the title of "the best" with potentially dozens of other people.
