Doesn't seem like a very good case of sportsmanship, does it?

No one plays for second place. Not a big deal. Great to see US women hockey show the men how it's done.

Does anyone really think sportsmanship is what it used to be? As in most things, people have lost interest in being decent when things don't go their way. I guess at least she didn't throw it over the White House fence.

We should offer her a Participation Trophy instead.
