Respect your opponents!!!

Last few days and weeks i was into watching the IPL... IPL, when it started,was all about entertainment.... But into the 6th season, i was not sure what's with the league... it was not same anymore... it lacked, what?? probably, RESPECT to the opponents...
The fans and players get too carried away with the cash-rich, party-feel league, they forget the real sportsmanship and become hot-heads.... players like gambhir and kohli are the best examples... the latter especially becoming arrogant day-by-day.... he almost slapped by gambhir, booed in wankhade... there will some a day, when he will be really slapped... that day seems not far away!!!
Here is the thing.... being a sports-person all my life, i know how can one lose cool in the field... you say things... but it should just be within the boundary lines of the field... you come out you go back to the way things it was before the match... but many come out of the field with their egos grown bigger than themselves... They get offended by the bits happened with the the field and that results in the ugly spats outside...
On your day, you win matches.... when the day is not yours, you lose... you accept it and give it to your opponents... The first rule in sports is WINNING... the second is RESPECTING YOUR OPPONENTS... today's sportspersons are forgetting that... sad!!!
