Remember that time that the US Women’s Soccer team was defeated by Sweden and missed out on a medal in the 2016 Summer Olympics? Remember when Hope Solo took to Twitter and voiced her discontent on the performance of the victors and how the better team didn’t win? Remember how the sports world universally panned her and acted like how you react to a win or loss on the good/bad dichotomy spectrum defined your character? I do, because it was yesterday.
For me, that whole line of thinking is ridiculous and predicated on a completely bunk definition of sportsmanship.
