good sportsmanship in Central washington softball
Western Oregon senior Sara Tucholsky had never hit a home run in her career. Central Washington senior Mallory Holtman was already her school's career leader in them. But when a twist of fate and a torn knee ligament brought them face to face with each other and face to face with the end of their playing days, they combined on a home run trot that celebrated the collective human spirit far more than individual athletic achievement.
Both schools compete as Division II softball programs in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Neither has ever reached the NCAA tournament at the Division II level. But when they arrived for Saturday's conference doubleheader at Central Washington's 300-seat stadium in Ellensburg, a small town 100 miles and a mountain range removed from Seattle, the hosts resided one game behind the visitors at the top of the conference standings. As was the case at dozens of other diamonds across the map, two largely anonymous groups prepared to play the most meaningful games of their seasons.

unsportsmanlike soccer
Last weekend in La Liga Barcelona kept up their seemingly unstoppable charge to the Spanish title with a dramatic 3-2 at bottom club Osasuna, having trailing 2-1 with 15 minutes remaining. Yet the match was spoiled by a series of tit-for-tat exchanges of bad sportsmanship between the sides which marred an otherwise fantastic game.
Bad blood started emerging after a bizarre incident early on in the game after a poor tackle from Josetxo left Sergio Busquets poleaxed on the floor in pain. Lionel Messi picked up possession of the ball when he spotted his fellow Barca player prostrate on the turf. Immediately the Argentine stop playing, but rather than booting the ball into touch so that assistance could be called from the sidelines, Messi seemed to gesture to the surrounding Osasuna players for them to kick the ball out of play. But the Osasuna players refused to stop playing, stole the ball and continued attacking.
