I’m all about sportsmanship and always have been. I’m not one of those “chant things at the other fans at the game” kind of guys. I’ve always been more of a “scoreboard” man — if the big lights say your team is ahead or behind, you should have nothing more to say about it. As I tweeted recently, “Winning without integrity has absolutely no meaning and should not be acknowledged, let alone tolerated. “
It’s one thing, however, to be a good sport, and another entirely to be obsequious and cloying about it. Especially when you had absolutely nothing to do with the result at hand.
