My Underwear Was Too Small - The Best Excuses From Bad Losers

A superb eulogy to bad faith in sport.

It is obvious that there are more losers than winners. In football, there is only one world champion for every 31 losers, and only one winner at Roland Garros or Wimbledon for every 127 unfortunates.

And the other, the sore losers, who brandish denial as a banner and bad faith as a shield.
