sportsmanship

[Triton X2]

At one point during a game, the coach called one of
his 10-year-old
>players aside and asked, "Do you understand what
cooperation is? What

>a team is?"
>
>The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
>"Do you understand that what matters is not whether
we win or lose,
>but how we play together as a team?"
>
>The little boy nodded yes.
>
>"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when
a penalty is
>called you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the
referee, or call him a
>pecker-head. Do you understand all that?"
>
>Again the little boy nodded .
>
>The coach continued, "And you understand that when
I call you off the
>field so that another boy gets a chance to play,
it's not good
>sportsmanship to call your coach "a dumb donkey-hole",
is it?''
>
>Again the little boy nodded.
>
>"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and
explain all that to
>your mother."
