Lombardi NEVER said:
“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”
He said:
“Winning isn’t everything -but wanting to win is.”
The former implies anything is acceptable including cheating, unsportsmanlike conduct, etc. just to win a game - or whatever. This is liberals’ and the democrat party’s philosophy and was never the great Vince Lombardi’s.
I am always extremely annoyed when someone besmirches Lombardi’s legacy with this false and malicious quote created by the media.
I’ll even give you a start on where to verify: http://www.enotalone.com/article/11027.html
Vince Lombardi said a lot of things about winning.
Your quote is one, the quote I have in my tagline is another.

You should do your research.
Awaiting your apology and admission of having been wrong.
“Lombardi is on record using the quote as early as 1959 in his opening talk on the first day of the Packers’ training camp”
