Why Are Americans Bad Losers?

[iamwhatiseem]

It comes down to manners, some people don't have any.

It comes down to the history of the game. Decorum, etiquette and very limited emotional response was what the aristocrats were all about. Only the wealthy were allowed in both of those games.
Now let's talk about soccer... hmm... what about European decorum there?? Hmmm... gee... could it have anything to do with wealth class behaviors?? Hmm?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

How very sad that is.

On the battlefield, the only thing that matters is winning and there's no second place trophy.

 

[Woodznutz]

It really isn't.
It stems back from the days when only higher classes could play the game. Lower classes were not even allowed on the course. It was an upper class game, and wealthy people were all about etiquette and form. Making noises was considered disrespectful, and raucous.
Same with tennis, another game created by the upper class. Both sports were entirely played by the wealthy who demanded decorum and very-very limited response win or lose.

You've made my point.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

You've made my point.

Soccer

 

[1srelluc]

That is football hooliganism which has been a problem in Europe for decades, not like trying to put a Golfer off his stroke next to the green, you are just bad losers get over it, in sport you win and lose Men take it and move on.

I'd worry about your own cut-rate and Muslin-run country if I were you.

In case you haven't noticed the sun has set on ya.

Soccer

Golf is still a gentleman's game in America.

 

[Yarddog]

I am talking in this case about the Ryder Cup where a mob of drunken American Hooligans just can't stand losing like Men, we have seen the same with some Tennis Tournaments.

be more concerned about your own.

 

[rightwinger]

Uhh.... yeah... you wanna lay bets on who has the most political representation at a golf tournament crowd?

Rich Republicans

 

[Blaster]

The European players are acting like assholes and deserve to be booed.

 

[ThisIsMe]

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Every time I drive by one of the dozen golf courses around here and the golfer is about to stroke himself I honk my horn and scream obscene words.

Typical leftist behavior. Do you also key their golf carts?

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Rich Republicans

Haha!! You are funny, however overwhelmingly the wealthy are liberal elitist.

 

[rightwinger]

Not really
Golf has always been a conservative haven.

 

[Moonglow]

Nope, just disconnect the battery

 

[Moonglow]

Based on recent analysis of U.S. political trends, the statement that the wealthy are overwhelmingly liberal elitists is not accurate. Data shows political divisions among high earners, with some trends pointing to a conservative bias among the ultra-wealthy, while others show a growing number of affluent, educated voters trending Democratic on social issues.
Differing political leanings among the wealthy
Political scientists and research centers have found a complex picture of wealth and political affiliation.

• Growing number of affluent Democrats: Since the 1990s, the Democratic Party has gained increasing support from affluent voters, including those with high incomes, high-earning occupations, and stock ownership. This shift is most pronounced among college-educated, high-income voters in metropolitan areas.
• Conservative billionaires: Studies focusing on the ultra-wealthy, specifically billionaires, have found they lean more conservative than the general public. A 2023 study found that American billionaire politicians were 2.5 times more likely to be affiliated with the Republican Party. In the 2024 election, reporting from Americans for Tax Fairness found that two-thirds of billionaire political spending backed Republican or conservative candidates.
• Income level matters: In an April 2024 analysis, the Pew Research Center found that among upper-income voters, 53% identified or leaned Democratic, and 46% identified or leaned Republican. However, the data also showed that higher income is correlated with being more Republican among voters without a college degree.

There are more rich Democrats than there are rich Republicans.

Recent analysis shows that Republican voters have a slight edge among upper-income voters, while Democrats have an advantage among lower-income and the very top-income voters. This nuance is often lost in broad generalizations. Several factors make it difficult to determine which party has more rich members overall, including the definition of "rich," the complex demographics within income brackets, and the significant influence of political donations from billionaires.

Partisanship by family income, home ownership, union membership and veteran status

Democrats have an edge among registered voters in the lowest and highest income tiers, union members and voters who rent their home.
