Question

Which of the following BEST describes sports etiquette? A. unwritten rules and expectations for fair sports play B. allowing the other team to win C. letting the other team catch up when you're ahead in a game D. thanking the other team after you win the game

Answer 1

Etiquette generally describes rules of proper behaviour which are assumed but rarely explicitly stated. Therefore the best answer is:
A. unwritten rules and expectations for fair sports play.

Using the etiquette does not mean that the team should not try to win as hard as they can! (so answers B and C are wrong), it only means that you should behave "like a gentleman" when you play.

Answer 2

The best statement that describes sports etiquette is letter D. thanking the other team after you win the game.

Sports etiquette refers to the basic manners during sports or a game.This is closely akin to sportsmanship. Players/athletes displaying good sportsmanship also displays good sports etiquette.
