Bullshit!!
Real sportsmanship would have been Spain pulling one of their players of the field after Motta’s injury. Not asking the ref to blow the whistle at 4-0, 3 minutes into 3 minutes of stoppage time. He should get no credit for this at all.
Sportsmanship is for losers.
Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito - November 13th, 2010.
Margarito is fresh from the hand wraps scandal which shocked the boxing world and made him the most vilified figure in the sport. Pacquiao completely outclasses Margarito, but in the final round, with the crowd baying for blood, Pacquiao refuses land heavy shots on Margarito and knock him out. Asked why he stopped fighting in the final round, Pacquiao says that “Boxing is not for killing each other”. A true gentleman

A classic non-story.
TFK AFC v FMPI in the prestigious Lucozade Sport Astro League Division 1.0 last night:
The stakes couldn’t possibly have been any higher. With TFK leading 4-3 late into last night’s encounter, and news filtering through of a stalemate in the joint league leader’s match, FMPI starlet Phil powered onto a lay off and drove into the box.
Would TFK throw away a 4-1 lead after spurning several chances ourselves? Could it destroy confidence and morale ahead of the title run in? Would we fuck away a chance to forge clear in the table?
In short, no. It was like Robben v Casillas in the World Cup Final. Phil pounded his fists against the fence behind the goal after watching my slight touch divert the ball the wrong side of the post from his perspective.
I wiped the blood from my elbow and knee and went back to my line. Phil walked back onto pitch and tapped my back. I turned around. “Brilliant save keeper”, he said sportingly. I didn’t acknowledge him. We had a corner to defend.

Madrid, Spain, Jan 11, 2013 / 11:03 am (CNA/EWTN News).-
Spanish athlete Ivan Fernandez Anaya made news when he allowed another runner who was leading a race to finish first, despite the other runner’s huge blunder that should have cost him the win.
In comments to CNA on Jan. 10, Anaya recounted what happened on Dec. 2 during the Burlada Cross race in the city of Navarra.
Anaya was trailing Kenyan runner Abel Mutai, an Olympic medalist in the 2012 London games, as they were nearing the finish line.
Mutai was leading the race and thought he had reached the finish line when he stopped running.
Unable to speak Spanish, he did not understand as spectators tried to tell him he was still a few meters short. Fernandez caught up to him and instead of taking advantage of the situation to win, he encouraged the African to continue running and cross the finish line.
“With 150 meters left to go, he was ahead of me by 20 meters and just before entering into the home stretch, I saw Abel Mutai stop before the finish line and I was a little bit surprised, because I didn’t know if he was aware that he had not crossed it and that he still had 50 meters to go,” the 24-year-old Spanish runner said.
He said Mutai “looked back and saw the people telling him to keep going, but since he doesn’t speak Spanish he didn’t realize it. So I came up from behind and pushed him to go towards the finish.”
Asked if they spoke after the race, Fernandez said, “We talked a little bit but we didn’t understand each other much. He thanked me for allowing him to win.”
“We train above all to do the best we can, we train hard, and I want to remember that above winning and above everything else is the personality of each person and sportsmanship with our fellow athletes.”
“On this occasion I let myself win because my heart told me that he was the winner of the race,” Fernandez explained.
He told CNA that he does not practice his faith but he does live by the values he received from his family. “I come from a very structured family and I have had the fortune to have my parents and neither of them has failed me,” he said.
Fernandez maintains a friendly and grateful relationship with his fans. On his blog he recounts his athletic experiences and shares his thoughts “with an open heart.” When he told the story of the race he said, “What has made today a special day is to have shared it with you.”
The multi-national champion runner has represented Spain in numerous world cross-country and long distance races.
