Sportsmanship opinions

Question

What are your thoughts on sportsmanship and what does it mean to you?

Answer 1

Sportsmanship is in my opinion absolutely necessary for any contest to be successful. It's a forgotten law that people push to the extreme.

Poor sports aren't just "no fun". The NFL's Steve Smith, the Carolina Panthers star receiver, just broke his defensive teammate's nose this week during a practice. Now neither player will play the first game of the season. How important was it for Smith to be that physical in a practice? You have to take practice seriously, but not so seriously that you impact all your teammates' chances of success.
