Winning is only fulfilling if it's based on your efforts. A victory based on cheating doesn't taste as sweet. Also, aren't pep rallies supposed to get the grades to pull together? The demeaning, crass, and hurtful signs really broke the message of unity -which is all the pep rallies are really trying to convey. The events aren't about brute strength or intellect. Partakers won if they had enough support from their grades. I like the idea of rallying for our fellow peers. Why do we have to tarnish the moment by mud-slinging at the opposition?
