I don't give a fuck. He said she cried as she walked off the field. He added the handsake line later to show what a good sport she is not to help with chonology you ignorant pile of spittal.
What, did you think she walked off the field, only to return later for the handshake line?
Think you can just address the issue at hand? How is crying as you walk off the field a showing of good sportsmanship?
You're fucking horrible at this.

TVO, crying while walking off the field following the handshakes is neither a good nor bad show of sportsmanship. One has nothing to do with the other. How the fuck are you not getting that? Are you trying to be obtuse?

Van,
So it a neutral act? Has no bearing on anything? That is (finally) your stance? Then why was she crying? It couldn't have been to help make the other team feel better. It had to be about her right? That is shell fish. ( :D ) Good sports are not selfish they are magnanimous. Isn't 'grace in losing' a component of sportsmanship? How is crying your eyes out because you are sad that you lost (yes I know it was for the last time) graceful? Face it. She made a mistake. She got caught up in the moment and she cried (yes ucan't like a girl) but that don't make it right.

I wonder if she feels bad about it.

TVO, the display of good sportsmanship was in the shaking of the hands. That's the only component in the entire story that even speaks to the issue of sportsmanship. The crying afterwards as she left the field has nothing to do with sportsmanship, either good or bad. That's always been my contention - as it has been with everyone else here - and you've yet to offer a single shred of logical reasoning to the contrary.

Not wailing. Not throwing herself down on the ground. Not a tantrum. She did not stop and have herself a cry. These would be examples of bad sportsmanship. Tears in her eyes? Not so much. Why do you hate Carl Spackler so much?

Only a complete fucking moron would decribe 'lil Wags as being "unsportsmanlike" for having tears in her eyes as she walked off the field. The teams don't leave the field until after they shake hands and, as WW said, she led the team through the handshaking ritual before leaving the field with tears in her eyes. Your nonsensical explanation of how her behavior was unsportsmanlike is, at best, fucking stupid....and no surprise to anyone.

TVO, I've also yet to provide an explanation for why chewing sunflower seeds during the game has nothing to do with sportsmanship. I've neglected to do so for the exact same reason that I haven't bothered to explain why crying upon leaving the field of one's final game has nothing to do with sportsmanship: It's self-evident.

Playing the game within the rules and shaking the hands of one's opponent in congratulations following a tough loss, those are examples of sportsmanship.

Crying while walking off the field afterwards is an example of emotion, with no unsportsmanlike implications. It doesn't affect the play on the field, nor does it attempt to diminish the efforts either of the other team or one's own teammates.

See, those would be examples of poor sporstmanship. Merely feeling sad is not unsportsmanlike, so go ahead and present a reasonable, logic-based argument showing that it is. Remember, the other team doubtless celebrated their victory with some sort of visually apparent actions such as shouting with joy, raising their arms or hugging one another. Nobody's accusing them of poor sportsmanship, so how is the flipside of that any more connected to such a notion?

She shook their hands, and upon leaving the field she felt so sad that she began to cry on her own.

The ball is in your court.

Mace, you've coached eleventy billion kids over the years in a variety of sports and venues. In all that time did you, the other players or any parents ever accuse even a single kid of being a poor sport for crying following their final game of their season/career? Were any reprimands ever handed down? Were any protests ever filed by the opposing team's players, coaches or parents?

Did you ever make some sad shitheel run extra laps merely for being sad?

I'm sorry, but TVO really is being a filthy little cunt. Smack is one thing, but using someone's child as an opportunity to once again play Dirtbag Vulture is pathetic and despicable. If dude is that desperate for validation, he really needs to be destroyed.

No, Van, I've never had a player accused of being unsportsmanlike for crying after a game. In fact, I've got team pictures taken after a couple of state championship games where most of the players have tears in their eyes.....one after we lost the game, one after winning a title. Emotion is part of the game if the kids care about the team/game. TVO just enjoys being a little bitch.

The handshake line in youth/school sports is a given, it happens after every game I've ever watched. Game over, you line up, walk across the field, slap hands and mumble words to the effect of 'good game'.

Why would I feel a need to post that in the original story? Should I also have expressly written ..."and it's one, two, three strikes, yer out?"

Guess I should've... just for your benefit as you're going on strike 66 right now.

Excellent analogy and btw...

I'd never ate sunflower seeds before going to watch her games and that's the only time I would ever do it. Same with the wife, and then man, we would put away some frickin' seeds. Just out of sheer nervousness i guess or just a way to stay occupied while watching something we had absolutely no control over.

So among the many 'lasts' as it relates to softball, I probably won't be buying any bags of sunflower seeds in the near future.... until the grandkids come along that is. And save the lesbain jokes, she's said she wants to have 6 kids. I'll be buying seeds by the case.

If it is self-evident then why are you here? Just to waste my time? That is not very nice. :shock:
And if it is so self-evident why are you asking to bring an expert (Mace being an expert on anything worthwhile is a laugh all by itself) to the stand?
Van you remind me of one of those geetar players that can hit all the notes and still sound like a soul-less clown. You know where to put the comma's and like how to spel and junk but you have no idea how to use words. Forest trees and all that. It is a shit analogy. She cried because she lost the game without having the character to at least wait till she was off the field. That ain't grace under pressure. That is shell fish cunt. YOU might not think it shows bad sportsmanship but it is at least relevant to the issue at hand.
As far as me being "pathetic and despicable." Hyperbole much? Your butt buddy mvskkkal can make all manner of vile comments, people can make death threats and threats of bodily harm ('Sup R-Jackmeofflittlegirl?) but me noting that there is no crying in softball is p and d? forest trees comma's speling and junk right Van?

Mace,
How old are the kids you are talking about? How many cry at the end of their career when they lose? How about when they win?
Additionally, What is their gender? And do some stop and have a cry? I'm asking 'cause ican'tthink wants to know.

Hell you ignore shit I type ALL the time and it is not preceded by a surrender. I didn't ignore it. I read it. YOU said it was self-evident that I was wrong. Why should I talk to a wall? Why should I waste my time if it is self-evident? Are you now saying it is not self-evident and it is worth discussing? Mmmm okay.

"Playing the game within the rules and shaking the hands of one's opponent in congratulations following a tough loss, those are examples of sportsmanship."
True. So what?

"Crying while walking off the field afterwards is an example of emotion, with no unsportsmanlike implications. It doesn't affect the play on the field, nor does it attempt to diminish the efforts either of the other team or one's own teammates."
No it says look at me. I'm not getting enough attention, because losers don't get all the attention, so I'm going to cry.

"Merely feeling sad is not unsportsmanlike"
Too bad that she is not doing that. She isn't merely feeling sad, she is crying. Try using facts next time.

"Remember, the other team doubtless celebrated their victory with some sort of visually apparent actions such as shouting with joy, raising their arms or hugging one another."
Not if they want to be real sports and act like they have been there. This was her last game not theirs. Win a real championship THEN you can fistpump.

"Nobody's accusing them of poor sportsmanship, so how is the flipside of that any more connected to such a notion?"
