In this week's Defector Funbag, the author reflects on the importance of sportsmanship and professionalism in the face of defeat, particularly criticizing athletes who handle losses poorly. The author argues that acknowledging defeat is key for personal growth and professional development, stressing that even established players like Aaron Rodgers should not escape accountability. This perspective extends to a broader cultural critique about the challenges of losing and the need for adults to demonstrate maturity in handling setbacks. While the author acknowledges a busy week, he remains committed to producing quality content ahead.
Admitting defeat means you're willing to grow, and to learn. I'm not giving anyone, least of all myself, permission to avoid all of that just because losing is hard.
Even Draymond Green, in his best moments, knows how to do this. Basic sportsmanship plays into this.
