I guess sports is like life...
there are times to support one another in teamsmanship
and then there are times, where it is necessary to compete, but to compete on rules understood by everyone who plays fairly, no verbal abuse and to compete with grace. To win with grace and humility and to lose, but not be shattered.
But would agree that it is wrong to teach kids to be mean to the opposing side, "other" team.

Dang, missed it.
Speaking of sportsmanship - apparently the NYT linked to a pirated YouTube video, which is why ESPN had it taken down???Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

We competed in the Scavenger Hunt for Bike, Walk and Wheel Week tonight. We had something of the spirit of cooperation, partly because we kind of had 1st place in the bag (we borrowed a wheelchair to get 40 pts extra). One of the bonuses was a flier for some movie, and after finding the flier one of us suggested we tear down all the other fliers we found so the other teams wouldn't get it. We decided we couldn't do that, because of this story!
However when we found the name of some tree, we were quiet about it because another team was right there looking for the same clue.
