If we do not hold others, and ourselves, accountable for upholding the standards of sportsmanship that we all expect, then we can only blame ourselves rather than complain about it later.

Agreed. My momma taught me when I was young that when someone apologizes for something they did wrong, you don't say "that's okay," because it's not okay.

I was honestly just so flabbergasted that it was the first thing that came out of my mouth.

He lost my respect during the first game, but earned it back with his apology. It takes a real man to apologize like that.
