CLOSE-IN: Sportsmanship is factually a misnomer in sports
Team Sports are looked at as the most effective way to learn the values of teamwork and team spirit. Upholding the values and spirit during participation in one's sporting initiative is the essence of being ethical, good-mannered and upright. History has relayed to us about good finally prevailing over bad and the importance of living honourably and honestly.
These were great values when competition and tussle were not seen as the "be-all of existence". In the present context of "one plays to win", "winning is the ultimate goal" and "winning is what counts", the term sportsmanship is factually a misnomer.
