'''''Sportsmanship''''' is an [[aspiration]] or ethos that a [[sport]], or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake. This is with proper consideration for fairness, [[ethics]], respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's [[competitors]]. A "sore loser" refers to one who does not take [[defeat]] well, whereas a "good sport" means being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser" (someone who shows [[courtesy]] towards another in a sports game). Most importantly it is often [[encouraged]] and said regarding sportsmanship that "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the [[game]]." | '''''Sportsmanship''''' is an [[aspiration]] or ethos that a [[sport]], or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake.
