Somebody shaking hands after a game isn&#8217;t something that you take note of, but somebody screaming at a referee or getting into a physical altercation sticks in your mind. I think that&#8217;s part of it, too, is that the more memorable ones are bad sportsmanship sometimes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be sure to Tweet your questions and comments to us: @LifewayResearch and individually: @smcconn, @statsguycasey, and @lizettebeard.
