That's a class act, and true sportsmanship.

That’s a great story! Only those that compete understand true sportsmanship. Until you’ve trained and sacrificed do you understand what truly is at stake.
I remember in my youth we were leading in the last inning of a tournament, when a player on the other team hit a ball deep over the center field fence eliminating us from the tournament. A couple of our players were mad, I shook the player’s hand and told him what a great and timely home run it was. I appreciated what went into the player rising to the occasion.

That's pretty cool. That's why I continue to have a positive outlook on life.

Reminds me of the young wrestler that let the handicapped kid beat him.
Also the little league baseball pitcher that beaned the batter and got really emotional and embarrassed. The player that got beaned went over and gave him a hug.

"But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my mother think of that?" here is someone who understands the essence of sportsmanship.

Where has all of the good people gone They are all around you. You just need to drop the poor me, negative outlook and you'll see them. You get what you look for. You looking for negativity, you'll find it. You look for positive things, you'll find those also. They both exist but you will get what you are seeking.

Robert WTF. I’m the last person to have a “poor me” negative attitude.
I’m happy and grateful for everything that I’ve done and have.
The only thing I won’t do is support people who are bad for our great country
