“Sports are sports <…> But we must determine the actual causes of our failures, make our conclusions, and fix the problems. Attempts to explain away our defeats as a result of biased judging, capricious weather and scheming against our team are irrelevant. This is what losers do. We must start by reviewing our efforts to determine whether we did everything we could for our athletes, whether those who were responsible for helping them prepare truly gave it their all.”
