She's not the only one to have displayed poor sportsmanship. The takedown of Lolo Jones by her own teammates, both in print and on TV, was objectionable. You would think they would have been groomed to act and behave a certain way on screen or in print since the eyes of the world are literally on them, but I don't know what's going on here. I've seen middle school tennis players act more dignified. Acting polite in public when you're disappointed or upset is one of the hallmarks of maturity.
