Sportsmanship

What is SPORTSMANSHIP?

Sportsmanship is defined as:
- playing fair
- following the rules of the game
- respecting the judgment of referees and officials
- treating opponents with respect

Practicing GOOD SPORTMANSHIP:

- Talk politely and act courteously toward everyone before, DURING, and after games and events. That includes your teammates, your OPPONENTS, your coaches and their coaches, the officials presiding over the game, and even spectators (who can sometimes be loud about their opinions).
- STAY COOL. Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesn't mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard you've practiced and played, it is, after all, JUST A GAME.

Oh my gosh.. I detest people with BAD SPORTSMANSHIP. Sickening I tell you.. Even though you guys in the same team as I am, I think you guys are LOUSY sportsmen. Even though you are nice, friendly, sociable people OFF court I am embarassed to be in the same team as you ON court.
It's alright to be competitive. In fact, it's excellent to be competitive especially in sporting activities. But there was there a need to SHOUT at the opponents? Was there a need to SWEAR? Was there a need to "RECIPROCATE" what the oppponents did? Was there a need to be so impatient with your own team members? So what if we were losing? IT WAS JUST A GAME. Not that we were going to win One Million Dollars or something... Aiyahyah.. Yeah, our opponents may have played foul, but we ought to tolerate.. (eh.. maybe do something TACTICAL, not out of anger?) I tell you there is a big difference when you push someone on purpose and when do it subtly. see the difference? (yes, nod your head! =) )
HEH! Okay I am done complaining. We got into the semis by the way! Well done GUYS. Credits to the 3 girls too. (we had interhall floorball today. and the team needs to have minimum 2 girls. So being such a gender biased society, ALL teams sent girls just to fufil the minimum requirement. So yes, the ratio of girls to guys in each team was 3:10)
