Sportsmanship

From ESPN: women's softball game ends in good sportsmanship.

I'm deciding whether or not to include this as part of a discussion on ethics. Laws and regulations are set to codify what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. After the rules are established, people try to figure out a way to get through loopholes in the law, approaching, but not crossing, the established legal precedents. Often, people try to exploit these loopholes for their benefit. The story is a good example of finding a loophole for someone else's benefit.

Incidentally, I found it interesting that there are no comments from the losing coach in the story.
