Sportsmanship yesterday

Was watching BJV game before mine yesterday. A1 and B1 were a bit tangled up and B1 ends up on the floor, possible inadvertant high elbow by A1. Going other way time out was called by team A. Reporting time out, neither official noticed B1 saying something to A1 sort of long distance and with a scowl.

A1 moves towards B1 and I'm ready to witness a fight. A1 though sticks out his hand and I lip read "I'm sorry about that".

After the game I briefly told his coach what I witnessed and that I wanted to congratulate B1 for showing such good sportsmanship. Then B1's parents showed up so I told all three of them what an excellent job they had done with their son.

Stuff like that reinforces my faith in society.
