“You just don’t get it. I’m guessing it’s because you’re a coach being as you would say ..... underpaid. “

When I coached it was for free, which was probably fair compensation.

“It’s not about the score. “

Of course it is, at least with you it is, don’t be disingenuous.

“So calling people who who you disagree with “sore losers” speaks volumes about yourself. “

You are glorifying losing in sports. You think that the losing team was somehow victimized. You are the pure embodiment of sore loser. You have used the success of the winning coach as the very spear to skewer him, because you don’t know how to compete and probably never had what it takes to win.

“The way you treat other people is important. It does matter.” In sports, there is an objective measure of success. It is unarguable. That’s why people like sports.

Mercy in sports is an insult. Only in real life is it a virtue - but sports isn’t real life - again, another reason why people like sports.

Sports are real life. Sports and our reaction to them highlight the best and the worst of us. The best and worst of the competitors and the best and worst of the viewers.

I'm not glorifying losing. I'm saying that every competition has a winner and a loser and how we handle each of those speaks to our character.
