Question

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions

Sportsmanship can be defined as a fair and generous behaviour or treatment of others, especially in a sporting contest. In general, sportsmanship refers to virtues such as fairness, self-control, courage, persistence, maintaining self-control when dealing with others, and respect for both - the concerned authorities and the opponents. The four elements of sportsmanship are being in good form, the will to win, equity and fairness. All the four elements are important and a balance must be maintained among all the four. These elements may also cause conflict, as a person may desire to win more than play fairly. When athletes become too self-centred, the idea of sportsmanship is dismissed. Since every sport is rule-driven, the most common offence of bad sportsmanship is the act of cheating or breaking the rules to gain an unfair advantage. A competitor who exhibits poor sportsmanship after losing a game or contest is often called a ‘sore loser’, while a competitor who exhibits poor sportsmanship after winning is typically called a ‘bad winner. A sore loser blames others for the loss, does not accept responsibility for the defeat, reacts in an improper way and makes excuses.
