Sportsmanship involves playing fair, respecting referees' decisions, and treating opponents with respect. It means teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials treat each other respectfully. Those displaying good sportsmanship play fair, are team players, stay positive, and respect officials' and opposing teams. In contrast, bad sportsmanship includes cheating, losing one's temper, negative criticism of others, blaming teammates, trash talk, arguing with referees, and not congratulating opponents. Sportsmanship is important because while winning is important, showing respect is even more important for team unity and support.
