Your definition of sportsmanship

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoBqpWkm518

voice from heaven. Tian Lai.

it is not about how we suck or fall.

it is about how we stand up again and strive on after the fall.

what is your idea of true sportsmanship or true spirits of MA practitioners?

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!
It's also what is best in life!

sports such as swim, running, etc.

it is a daily or weekly activity. good for health, also relieve stress, build characters, such as diligence, persistence, etc.

we all win.

competition is relative. we win and we lose.

most important, if we lose we learn from it and improve from that.

if we win, we have to be humble, too and thank the other player for playing.

--

there is a comradiership or friendship.

--

b/c we can all be in that position which is winning or losing. struggling etc.

--

in short. we may be good in some area and may also suck in other area, too.

just found out. the vid is gone.

I really enjoyed that a brave young singer recover from public embarrasment, regain self confidence, struggle in mindset and with voice, then "finish" the song no matter what.

would it not be the best example of the sportsmanship?

sportsmanship:
putting all your skills to the test against someone of better or equal calibur

then having no sore feelings afterwards

Playing your heart out to the intent of the rules of the game, and, even if you're ****ed that you lost, not being a d!ck about it.

In fact, if you're ****ed and still act like you're fine, I could see an arguement for being more of a sportsman then someone who's not mad.

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women was the correct answer. There is no need for further discussion. Lock the thread and make it sticky, Sev.
