About This Quote
In the Nazi regime, the focus was on producing a superior race. The Nazis believed that if they could breed a stronger group of people, then the whole world would be a much better place. The result of this philosophy is an institution that allowed for a much greater occurrence of the Holocaust and other atrocities. However, one good thing has come out of all of this: trophy cups.
Sportsmanship is a great way to show others how to treat others. Sportsmanship is an example of being strong and giving trophies to those who are not as strong as you are.
