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?------------- Jp Indoe Contender 518 Buzz591 Chew Valley Sailing club Bristol |

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? ------------- When you find a big kettle of crazy it's probably best not to stir it - Pointy Haired Boss Crew on 505 8780 |
