Ha that is great! I have 1 sometimes 2 kids that do that. 1 of them is usually on the losing side also. How they heck do you politely tell them to stop without breaching the “sportsmanship” clause they will come back with? For the record I 100% agree with you.

You don't do it politely. You explain that nobody wants a hug from the guy that just beat them. It is a poor sport to rub it in by hugging the guy you just beat. I tell my kids to not do it, it is a good way to get punched in the mouth if you do it to the wrong kid.

I would argue my kid was being assaulted and fought back. As we have learned from the board it is all in interpretation, even if it is wrong.

I agree with both John and Doug. Here is the only thing I would say in response to John, let the loser initiate the hug not the winner. Especially if the winner only hugs when they win.

That was a very good point Beeson, April must have come up with it.

It is really easy to be huggie squeezie, and a nice guy, after you win. But can you be nice and show some class after you get your tail handed to you?

There are punks out there that pretend to be good people after the win, then when they lose, are complete psychopaths.

And there are also those punks out there that are pricks if they lose, and pricks if they win, and act like they are upset that he other kid "stalled" or "I should have kicked his butt worse", or anything else to disrespect their opponent........

It isn't that hard to do the one thing that a MAN should do after a win, loss, or draw, and that is to stick your hand out to your opponent, and shake it with class.
