June 23rd, 2015: Sportsmanship

I saw a highly rated guy my age throw a mini tantrum at a very competitive fencing event over the weekend. The director looked like he was considering carding him but the fencer turned it off and quickly left the venue. He struck the strip with his weapon very hard and the bang was heard across the venue. Every head turned. I had watched his emotional state throughout the day. The dude was a mess. Hopefully the younger fencers stored that under "Don't be that guy."
