Much that is of great value about competitive sports is lost in the NFL and its university colonies. It is healthy to recall that sportsmanship is more than something revealed by infractions against it. Consider this decision and action by some young and admittedly privileged athletes:

"It's always said that high school sports are supposed to teach young athletes the value of good sportsmanship. Now we all know that at least two prep rowers from Philadelphia are listening."

"When the Episcopal Academy duo finally reached the finish line, their coaches were stunned that it had taken them so long … until they found out that the sophomore and junior had helped their capsized opponents. That information changed the Episcopal staff's reaction from one of mild disappointment to admiration of their own charges."
