The total lack of respect tops my list - by adults -

this is where the youngsters learn their lessons - particularly on the playing fields of "sport" - look at the recent Ryder Cup - the US captain tells a crowd that "sportsmanship" is all - ten minutes later he is telling them to "BOO" every missed putt by the Europeans !

Or when Chelsea is penalised for an infraction - the whole team led by Terry and Lampard - surrounds the referee to change his mind !

Or the captain of Middlebrough trying to break a newcomers leg.....or the diving in the penalty box - the shirt pulling - this is Sportsmanship ? - hasn't been for yesrs now it's merely entertainment... and not very good mostly...but it does hide a need !
Cheers
