Sportsmanship is Important

A question was raised asking people if losing with sportsmanship was more impressive then winning without it. I believe that it is important to lose with sportsmanship because it allows the student-athlete the opportunity to build character. It also shows them that it is okay to lose. You do not always have to win. If you can lose a game with sportsmanship, it shows future employers and teammates that you can accept rejection all right without going crazy in the locker room after the game. If you win a game without sportsmanship, it could show that you will do whatever it takes to win a game even if that means injuring your own teammates along the way.
