Is sportsmanship dead?

2 answers , last was 10 years ago

After the end of the NFC championship game Seattle Seahawks star cornerback Richard Sherman made a game saving deflection which resulted in an interception that sealed the victory over the San Francisco 49'ers. He chose to celebrate the win by seeking out the 49'er receiver he was covering Michael Crabtree and gesturing his hands across his throat; symbolizing a "choke". He then continued his rant on his post-game interview by choosing to call Crabtree a "sorry" receiver, "mediocre", etc. Does this type of choice of celebrating cross the line of acceptable sportsmanship?

no sportsman ship isnt dead it never existed every one loves to point out their achievments either world wide to a friend or even to someone they dont no. it is something each and every person in the world will do at 1 stage or another its what makes us human.

It is not a big deal. Its just sports. However, the best players are the ones who are not only good but do not brag or boast and were modest. Such as Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Barry Sanders, Joe Montana etc.
