All of the above is sometimes true when it comes to American athletes, most notably USA Basketball for the past 2 decades. 
But, I'm not sure if it applies as much with the softball team .... it seems they were gracious in defeat and understandably upset right after losing a heartbreaker. Plus, expectations should've been high since their record was like 50-1 or so against the rest of the world .... |
