A LOSER’S ALIBI: PLAY THE BLAME GAME.
Hearing the excuses offered up by sportsmen and women for losses, where in just about every instance the blame lies with someone else and external factors are always the culprit, is one of the most common “turn-offs” in sport.
It’s yet another example of a trend which has become entrenched, not just in sport, but in society in general – the deliberate, calculated decision not to take responsibility for loss, or to put it more bluntly – failure, and then blame someone or something else.
