Terrell Owens had just scored a touchdown on the Cowboys, after scoring he ran out to the center of the field and tried to put the ball down and showboat on their star. Needless to say the Cowboys and their fans were not happy to see him attempt this stunt, hence the Cowboy player coming up and hitting him.

mora, the player in red had just scored a goal, and he placed the ball on the star, the symbol of his opponets, to taunt them. The opposing player took issue with his antics.

Now, the REAL explination- About twenty-five years ago we quit keepin score in children's athletics to "spare" their delicate psyches. We also quit posting grades or doing anything else that might have a winner and a loser. As a result we've developed a generation of people who can't deal with winning, much less losing, because they've never experienced winning or losing growing up.

The most important parts of sports is sportsmanship, and without a clear winner or a clear loser it's a lesson unlearned.

I blame the liberals for this one. ;)

Correction, at a very young age we don't keep score.  Averaged out around the country, at about age 8 or 9 year olds, scores in childrens sports are indeed kept to show them where they need improvement, that you take the losing with a good attitude as in "now where do I need to improve?" and learn valuable ethics as in taking the good with the bad and learning to respect your fellow man.  The most important aspect of this is sportsmanship, with a clear winner and loser, that instills on us to strive to be better.

I blame the conservatives for this one ;)


(Incidently, Terrel Owens is a poster child for why sportsmanship in this country is going the way of the Dinosaur.)

Wasn't that the second time? I thought Emmit Smith cleaned his clock the first time TO tried that.
