SPORTSMANSHIP
Sportsmanship is that quality of honorable behavior which, because of its courtesy, dignity, respect, cooperation and trustworthiness, habitually wins the esteem of one's fellowperson whether he be opponent or ally. Flashes of sportsmanship come to all of us, but real posession only comes to those who consistently hold the respect and loyalty of the community. For them, there are no alibis, no unnecessary abusive remarks, no scheming to win at any cost; but a genuine love of fair play, which makes them modest winners and gracious losers
-George Khoury
