Sportsmenship

What happened to the good old sportsmenship these days?  It bad enough to see fights and such in popular football games but why are bowlers are so jealous because a person intends to take some of their winnings for all their hardwork for one season? 

Over the years I have noticed as newcomers into particular leagues, we intend to be threaten with others by coming home with the prize fund more then they do.  It aren't our fault we are good bowlers. We are there to enjoy the games and try to make new friends.  I have noticed with the more serious bowlers, if the game isn't going the way they want it, they will have a bee in their bonnet about it.  The more they stress out, the worse their game goes under average.  I just look at them and laugh!!  Because they act like a two year old with a tantrum.

My daughter had a good run with her winnings this past season and one of the teenagers (who thinks she is the best) and her mother had a bee in their bonnet about my daughter for her extra winnings. I am proud of my daughter! She deserved to be rewarded for her hardwork for season one.

There is only one female who came up afterwards and congratulate my daughter.  That's what true sportsmenship should be about.  It shouldn't be there if you win or lose, you should be there to support your fellow competitors as well.
