Zitat des Tages über Sportlichkeit / Sportsmanship:
If the Olympic Games ever served a true altruistic purpose, they have long since outlived it. Yeah, the pursuit of athletic excellence, sportsmanship and international goodwill is plenty noble. But the modern Olympics are at best a vehicle for agitprop; at worst, a scandal magnet.
Golf is game of respect and sportsmanship; we have to respect its traditions and its rules.
Sportsmanship is definitely an important thing in all sports. In soccer, we all respect each other on such a high level, between Sweden and Brazil and Japan or whatever team it is.
I've always seen the Olympics as a place where you could act out your differences on the athletic field with a sense of sportsmanship and fairness and mutual respect.
Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds.

The Boys and Girls Club taught me a lot about sportsmanship, humility, self-respect.

I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship.
I think it's safe to say that 'manliness' was a common theme in my upbringing. It was an assumed status, but - and here's the important bit - it was the Rudyard Kipling kind. The emphasis was on gentlemanly conduct, sportsmanship, fairness and stoicism.
A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about, especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.
