: conduct (as fairness, respect for one's opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing) becoming to one participating in a sport
game, game, game....hardly a game when millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs are at stake, from the players and coaches to the janitorial staff. I don't like the "all about me" chest beating, dancing, make a fool of yourself stuff either but owners, coaches and referees put up with it. I remember when plays were made, everyone got up and went back to the huddle and prepared for the next play. Seems football was more "inclusive" back then rather then the "I, me, my, mine" thing....We're taught to lose with dignity..... we should also learn and teach others to win with class and humility as well.
Yes, the cowboys should deal with it on the field and only time will tell on that one. It was not their day...the Vikes looked great and deserved the win. I'll probably be rooting for them as well. I personally don't hold grudges. And Misty...you are right...it was a good weekend and some very good football. Underdogs won, favorites won, great plays were made we move forward.
