Sportsmanship is doing your best and letting the cards fall where they may. Not coddling an inferior opponent. Wake up

I'm wide awake. Sportsmanship also means refraining from deliberately humiliating an obviously overmatched opponent. Back in the day I was in this position, meaning beating an obviously outmatched opponent. We'd hold back a bit, to be honest, it just felt wrong to simply stomp someone for the sake of running up the score. Doesn't mean throwing the game or deliberately missing shots, just conducting yourself with a bit of class.
