Just to put things in perspective: Celebrating a 1st place win when 2nd is announced is, in my eyes, the same as when a football team is winning the Super Bowl 14-3 with 10 seconds left on the clock, and they take a knee-ending the game. They rush out on the field, confetti rains down, they all start saying they're "going to Disney"....meanwhile, the other team is walking off the field to go clean out their lockers. Does anyone say that the winning team is poor sports, or spoiled brats? No....well, maybe the spoiled brat thing, but that's because they're making millions to play a game-not because of how they acted when they won. When my kid's team wins a game, they all rush the goalie. Does that make them poor sports? No. They've been on the other side of it too. When they lose a game, they have to walk back to their bench through the other team's celebration.
