One player dove into the end zone because he wanted to
make sure he scored, rising to the challenge posed by the opponents' play, trying to achieve the object of the game. The other player goose stepped into the end zone to deliberately make it
harder for him to score, saying, "Look, I'm scoring even though I'm walking funny!", dissing the opponents while flouting the object of the game. Can't you distinguish the latter as unsportsmanlike versus the former as sporting?
