I would like to be guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct
Problem is, I am not good at any sports, and therefore do not play them. I can't play golf, so I will never be in a position to throw a golf club into a lake. I suck at baseball, so I don't get to kick dirt at people that I disagree with. I do not know how to play hockey, and am ALSO bad at fighting.
What I AM good at is board games. Do board games count as "sports?" They are certainly widely regarded and respected as leisurely activities but so are crossword puzzles and masturbating. People never form CLUBS for that though. They just solve the puzzles and do, yanno, the other thing, individually and privately.
This is becoming awkward, let's move on.
Even if you are competent at something, you cannot always win. Losing at Monopoly? It's human psychology to just "flip the board." The thimble and the dog and the "Get Out Of Jail Free" card and the HOTELS and the orange $500 bill go flying all over the house. EVERYONE has experienced this situation, USUALLY as a little kid.
It would be funny if an adult did it.
"BODY ODOR RAILROAD?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO."
Tiny little green houses all of a sudden everywhere, including on the pizza.
CHESS is the funniest game to suddenly lose your temper about, because it is SO stereotyped as being for intellectuals. It would be so awesome if just ONE TIME somebody actually "flipped the board" in a USA vs Russia match, or whatever other nations are relevant these days.
Here is what chess pieces would look like with faces:
