Interesting points.

But if winning isn't important, why do we keep score? Why do we become fans and root for our respective teams? Competition is human nature, that's why why we celebrate the biggest stage in the world every 4 years at the Olympics.

I still think winning is very important part of life and needs to be taught to our youth. Winning drives college and professional sports, drives being an industry leader in the corporate world, is a huge reason why America is capitalistic. Winning to win is also an aesthetic pleasure, that I and many other people possess as well.

I guess at a young age winning isn't everything, but once I grew up I realized the importance of winning or at least doing everything I could to try to win. Motivating the youth to try to win, I think that's a good thing.
