It's what's said after a hard fought game. Apparently, not many here are into sports.

Most sporting contests are not decided by a coin toss or six.

That's actually called something else, gambling.

The expression is usually "may the best man/woman win". It is a reference to athletic prowess, not character integrity or values

This is a pathetic attempt at a personal smear of Sanders.
