Poor Sports

I read Adrian Wojnarowski’s critique of Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech and found myself thinking about sportsmanship: “This wasn’t a Hall of Fame induction speech, but a bully tripping nerds with lunch trays in the school cafeteria. He had a responsibility to his standing in history, to players past and present, and he let everyone down.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-jordanhall091209&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Then I read this stunner about Serena Williams’ meltdown at the U.S. Open: http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/blog/busted_racquet/post/Serena-Williams-berates-official-loses-match-fo?urn=ten,189028

Followed by this: http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/news?slug=ro-serenafine091309&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Do you think displays of arrogance and unsportsmanlike conduct are getting worse? Or are these displays just more widely covered than they used to be?
