Agreed.  But this is also the difference between a sportsman and sportsmanship

Is it better to continually win by a large margin in an inferior field or to win by just enough?

What makes a true sportsman? According to a dart player on grandstand (dont know who he was) but he classified as a sportsman as "I wear trainers and i've been on grandstand" . Anyone else got any ideas?
