Sportsmanship:
1. Character, practice or skill of a sportsman
2. Sportsmanlike conduct as fairness, courtesy, being a cheerful loser, etc. (courtesy of dictionary.com)
Some people argue that sportsmanship has gradually been disappearing from athletics. With the excessive celebrations of athletes in football, basketball and soccer, or the fights that take place during games, it seems that playing clean and having respectful attitudes has disappeared.
