It be even more humiliating to me to be on the court and have the opposing teamn not even try to take a shot because they felt sorry for us.
Once your butt's been kicked, it takes poise to remain standing and continue on. Therein lies a concrete example of sportsmanship. Never surrender. To continue to run up a score, however, is unsportsmanlike. I suspect some here would have been chanting "Losers, losers, losers" during the 4th quarter.
C'mon. After a point even an NFL team will ease off a bit.
