When you were a kid after every game you played you either shake your opponent's hands or give them a cheer after they win. I am not saying that the professional athletes that play men's sports that they should run into the locker room after the game. They should shake the opponent's hand or they should congratulate them on a great game it was, that is showing good sportsmanship.

In the past their were great superstars such as Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Even though they played on different teams. They were the best of friends on and off the court because they respected each other for what they did. At one point they were both ranked one and two when they played their game. Athletes today should look at why those two players showed good sportsmanship. They should use those two people as a role mode

Sportsmanship can definitely use some improving. Kids look up to superstars in the professional leagues and I know that kids do whatever their favorite athlete does. I wouldn't let my kid show bad sportsmanship in a game. So I ask this question again, Sportsmanship, what do you think it is?

Sportsmanship has changed in the years, yet sportsmanship can be improved by having stricter penalties and fines for taunting a player. Their leagues should fine a person, who shows unsportsmen like behavior. The national football league has started to do that by fining a person when taunting another person.

In the game of tennis people respected a man name Arthur Ashe. He was the first black professional tennis player. He was a well-rounded tennis player, which started from the bottom and made his way up to the top of the rankings. After retierering from the game of tennis, Arthur started a foundation that was called the Arthur Ashe foundation. The foundation was for kids who lived in a poor area could play tennis. At one of the major tennis tournaments, the U.s. Open has a stadium named after him called Arthur Ashe stadium. Arthur died of aids at the age of 43 becoming one of the most well rounded athletes in the world.
