It’s better to fail with honor than win by cheating. After all, if you fail with honor- you’re still a winner.

   

These two stories are a very good example for Sophocles quote. It shows how Malik Steward, lose to state championship, but had honor with him to go and shake his opponents dads hand. He failed, but he didn't cheat, he failed with honor. As to Roman Chapa he cheated miserable, just to win. To win for money, which indeed does not show honor, he choose the wrong and should be punished. He won but by cheating. Which isn't a honorable thing. An in people's eyes he is a cheating person who can't be trusted. Just did it for the money.
