Good and Bad Sportsmanship

Inside Edition featured a couple of videos which displayed good and bad sportsmanship. Check it out at:  GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP WINS OUT.

I find it amazing that some people get caught up in excitement in extreme ways. The young girl in the first video was about to place first in a huge race, yet she stopped to help an ailing competitor. The older girl in the second video pulled a pair of cleats right out of a young child's hands.

I think that older girl (more specifically 45 years old I believe) could use some counseling. She should certainly have the ability to control herself and not go gaga over a star football player.

In my opinion, sportsmanship comes down to a combination of personality, how a child is raised, and what a child has been taught. What do you think?
