Answers
When athletes become too self-centred, the idea of sportsmanship is dismissed. Today's sporting culture, in particular the base of elite sport, places great importance on the idea of competition and winning and thus sportsmanship takes a back seat as a result.
Answer:A. Due to lack of balance among the elements
Explanation:
Sportsmanship is the awareness of and dedication to fair play, morality, and integrity, as well as overall friendliness toward an adversary. It is confirmation that an athlete has the self-control to keep things in perspective, maintain composure, and look out for the interests of his or her teammates. Accordingly, fairness, equality, good manners, and the desire to win are the four components of sportsmanship. These four components are distinct from one another and all equally significant. The concept of sportsmanship is disregarded when athletes become very self-centered. Sportsmanship is given less priority in today's athletic culture, which places a strong emphasis on competitiveness and victory, especially at the highest level.
