Get lost, bottom-feeder. If you can't distinguish between a game and the sacredness of human life you don't have the sense to understand sportsmanship, or life. A game, however much it is esteemed, is never more important than life, or respect for those who have lived it and moved on. Come back when you grow up.

As someone (whose name I can't remember said): "Sports doesn't build character ... it reveals it."

You've summed it up beautifully.
