[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1216569, member: 1132"] Nope! I was being 100% sarcastic. I detest poor sportsmanship. :disappoin Not all sponsored shooters are personable, just as not all athletes in other sports are personable. Each person is an individual with their own idiosyncrasies. I think sometimes people expect too much from sponsored shooters. Some people get into the fan worship thing and eventually find out that their "hero" has deep flaws. Tiger Woods is a perfect example. I for one do not expect pro shooters to be any different than amateurs. Some I like, and some I don't. If they want to be stand-offish and act like a prima donna, so be it. If the want to display poor sportsmanship, have at it. Far more of the pro's are good sportsmen & women than not. Where I draw the line though is when their brand of poor sportsmanship disadvantages their fellow competitors. I will not tolerate that in the least. I'll call out anyone I see doing it regardless of who they shoot for (including themselves). Enough people have seen me do it to know it's true. For every example of poor sportsmanship I saw at the Pro-Am, I saw a hundred examples of good sportsmanship. That's why I like the shooting sports. Most competitors know that the Pro-Am is not my style of shooting, but I shoot and work the event because it's a great match with some quality people worth sweating for. For those of you who focus on the bad stuff, don't. Karma comes around eventually. I for one had a great time and I'll be there working it next year. Peace! :) [/QUOTE]
