Poor Winners

There is something I can't understand. It really bugs me at a base level. But the teams that I am not pulling for don't know how to win. On the rare occasions that my team wins, they celebrate with unbridled joy and exuberance. But when the other team wins they just showboat without regard to the feelings of the noble foe they were lucky enough to outlast. They give no recognition that they were lucky to win or that had my team been at their best that they would not have had a chance. They are poor winners, all. Former tennis great, John MacEnroe said it well when he said that the worst part of losing was seeing the look of joy on the face of the guy on the other side of the net.
