"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."
-Chick Moorman
What Mr. Moorman is trying to say is that as long as you are doing the right thing it is unimportant whether you win or lose. For example let's say that you are running a 100 meter race in the Olympics. The rules say NO STEROIDS. You might not be taking steroids but someone else in the race might. If you know that someone is taking steroids, what will you do? Will you stand there and look pretty or will you report it because it is against the rules? You should report it because it is against the rules and it would not be fair for everyone else who is following the rules. Another example would be if you were cheating on a test. Cheating is not fair, honorable or right. After cheating, how would you feel? Would you feel like you did the right thing or not? Inside your conscience would be telling you that you did the wrong thing. Would you ignore your conscience? If you know that you did the wrong thing than tell your teacher the truth and accept the consequences that follow. If you do accept the consequences than you have done something that is right, honorable and fair. Don't do anything wrong because you want to win. And don't worry about losing if you're doing the right thing. As long as you're following the rules and doing the right thing winning or losing shouldn't matter.
