https://www.i9sports.com/blog/10-ways-to-show-good-sportsmanship
1. Win with Dignity
Winning brings about more positive feelings than losing, but it can also breed arrogance and result in taunting or mocking the losing team. Show your child what it means to win with dignity, which can include being excited and happy while still remaining polite, respectful, and humble.
2. Lose with Grace
Participating in sports offers valuable life lessons remembered long after the final whistle blows. Everyone may want to win, but losing is a better learning opportunity. Teach your child to congratulate the winners and hold their head high, even in defeat.
As a parent, don’t be too hard on your child or their teammates. Focus on what they did well and offer high praise for the effort. Still, it’s okay to encourage your child to learn from their mistakes and make calm and positive suggestions that may help them improve their skills in the future.
3. Play Fair
The rules are there to make the game fair and fun. Teach your child that cheating demonstrates poor sportsmanship, and no one wants to play with a cheater. Then, as a parent watching from the sidelines, strive to respect the official call. This means refraining from shouting at the referee when you disagree with them.
4. Be a Team Player
In sports, encouraging others and doing the right thing is just as important as scoring a goal or winning the game. Being a team player is all about supporting teammates by saying kind things, giving high-fives, and passing the ball rather than hogging it. Never ridicule players who aren’t as gifted as others. Remember, everyone is trying their best, and everyone wants to win.
5. Give it Your All
Good sportsmanship doesn’t mean going easy on the opponent—it means having a strong work ethic. Teach your child to always try their hardest at practice and during games to earn respect from other players and coaches. Then, remind them to respond with dignity and grace whether they win or lose.
6. Maintain a Positive Attitude
Being negative can bring down the entire team, making the game less fun for everyone. Teach your child to see the positive side of things on and off the field. Even if things don’t go their way during the game, staying positive keeps everyone’s spirits up.
7. Don’t Trash Talk Others
Hurling harsh words at an opponent or putting a teammate down for missing an important shot is not appropriate. Instill in your child the importance of the adage, “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Then, follow this rule yourself while watching the game.
8. Shake Hands & Thank the Coaches
It’s customary in many sports for the teams to line up and give high-fives or shake hands before and after a game. This shows respect and allows players to tell each other, “Good game.” As a parent, it’s appropriate to thank the coaches and officials for their time, which is usually volunteered. Encourage your child to do the same.
9. Remember, It’s Just a Game
Sporting events can get emotional, so it’s important to practice self-control. If your child tends to lose their temper when things don’t go their way, remind them that it’s just a game, so they should focus on trying their hardest and having fun.
10. Lead by Example
A 2012 i9 Sports®® survey found that nearly one-third of kids ages 8 to 14 who play team sports wish their parents weren’t watching the games. One reason the kids gave is that adults yell too much.
That’s why we ask parents, who strongly influence their young players’ experience, to take the i9 Sports® Parental Pledge. This includes promising to “model the sportsmanship-like behavior I wish my child to adopt.”
11. For politicians: TELL THE TRUTH AFTER ELECTIONS!
11. a. Sincerely acknowledge your losses and the wins of your opponents.
11. b. Never blame the losses on manufactured corruption by the other side. Provable fraud is one thing to remain vigilant for. In the absence of that, the rest is is COUNTER productive to the confidence in our democratic process and to the credibility of those that push conspiracy theories FOR POLITICAL AGENDA's.
Make NO mistake. Trump was not the first person and the Rs were not the first party to take this position of a FAKE election steal:

"Hell if he even thought about giving the evidence to them he would hammered by every left leaning paper, book, journal, TV station and the crazy libs in congress especially, so how would that work"
If he was telling the truth and had the proof as he says........he would have massive reams of evidence to have these people prosecuted..........that's exactly how it would work, mcfarm.
How do you think all these people got prosecuted and convicted?
The prosecutors in those counties got reports of voter fraud, investigated and found them guilty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUY7ROtSLUA and this is what you fail to account for everytime you call Trump a lying hack who did know what he was talking about. Just how many votes did this story change? Enough by it self to throw the election? Who knows. Not me and certainly not you. But just add this story to the many many other dirty tricks the big filthy gov has pulled on Trump and then what is the total? How could you not know why Trump claims he was cheated and why in his mind as well as many others in total he was cheated.
Thanks very much, mcfarm!
The Hunter Biden laptop is a good point that was covered extensively here as clear election INTERFERENCE BEFORE THE ELECTION by the Ds and justice department.

This is not what Trump and the right refer to most of the time.
They refer to THE FRAUDULENT VOTE COUNT...........that never happened.
Every recount, audit and investigation, confirmed the original count with the expected insignificant variations. EVERY SINGLE ONE confirmed that this was the most secure election in history!
Rs were right there closely scrutinizing all those recounts, audits and investigations. The only fraud that showed up, was the fraud by those trying to convince people that the 2020 election was stolen with a fraudulent vote count.
We had dozens of threads on THE FRAUDULENT VOTE COUNT that busted, debunked and corrected every assertion that the 2020 election vote count was changed to help Biden win.
