Where is the line drawn? I draw it at the edge of gracious professionalism. When a team is no longer concerned with people outside their team, and begins to neglect the feelings of those around them while striving for the gold, that team has gone too far.
I haven't seen much of this at all.
In fact, I'm not sure I have ever seen it.
A team has a right to be ecstatic when it wins, and respectively has a right to be devastated after a loss. That's what helps us beat on. That's what keeps the clock ticking. We take a fall, but then tell ourselves that 'next year, we're gonna clear our name'. In fact, a loss can be just as inspiring as a win. As long as we care.
All teams should be competitive. That's part of what's so inspiring about all this.
