Whats Happened To: Good sportsmanship? email this discussion to a friend?

On the news this morning there was a story about two high school basketball teams playing at Madison square. A fight broke out between the teams after a foul, and the fight spread into the stands and the spectators and the police. I could clearly see that the player who caused the foul was not at fault, he clearly did not see the apposing teams player behind him, and knocked him down. The player who was down got up and started to shove the player who knocked him down. Then the melee started. It just goes to show you that there are no morals being taught to our kids! This was a simple accident that ended up in the stands with police billy clubs being swung and teenagers getting hurt and arrested. Whats happened to good sportsmanship?

I agree completely. Although poor sportsmanship has been around for decades or even centuries, it seems to have gotten much worse the past few years. These days there is so much emphasis on getting to the professional level of sport that there is not so much room for sportsmanship. To update Leo Durocher, "Nice guys don't get drafted".

This is the whole reason I started to dislike sports. When I was a kid sports were interesting, but sadly and slowly I noticed people actually getting angry about a game. So I lost interest. I believe a game is a game, if it be video game, sports game, board game, its a game. there is no reason to get pissed.
