R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Learn it, live it, love it.

Postby bnd » Mon Jun 10, 2013 5:21 pm

"A competitor who exhibits poor sportsmanship after losing a game or contest is often called a "sore loser" (those who show poor sportsmanship after winning are typically called "bad winners"). Sore loser behavior includes blaming others for the loss, not accepting responsibility for personal actions that contributed to the defeat, reacting to the loss in an immature or improper fashion, making excuses for the defeat, and citing unfavorable conditions or other petty issues as reasons for the defeat. A bad winner acts in a shallow fashion after his or her victory, such as by gloating about his or her win, rubbing the win in the face(s) of the opponent(s), and lowering the opponent(s)'s self-esteem by constantly reminding the opponent(s) of "poor" performance in comparison (even if the opponent(s) competed well)."

Even under the worst of situations.......take 1996 Aves vs. Wings when Lemuix took out Kris Draper, Draper's teammate still showed some respect even though he didn't like doing it.....& this is the NHL not BMX. :roll:

Iv'e been on the short end of the stick many a time & have had steam coming out of my ears but I always kept it cool until I was away from the crowd, then I vented. One of the older riders listened to my eff-filled rant in the parking lot a few years ago & talked me out of doing something stupid, Like make an ass out of myself in front of the whole world.

Posting it on here is like mumbling as you walk away from your mother, makes you feel good but does not really get the point across.... even if your right.

Believe it or not, this sites traffic is up pretty good. Even though we only have a handful of posters, we have ALOT of drive-bys!

Keep the faith & I'll let others post it on other media outlets. 8)
