The Meaning of Sportsmanship in Competition

Sportsmanship reminds participants that competition is not a conflict against opponents, but rather a demonstration of personal and collective sufficiency. Winning through dishonest means, such as cheating or humiliating others, reflects one's own insecurities and insufficiencies. It highlights a belief that achieving victory is intertwined with having more, both in terms of results and personal validation, rather than fostering a spirit of fair play and integrity.
