Are a Spain bad losers
 
Over 18,000 anti Semitic comments were made on Twitter after Tel Aviv beat Madrid at Basketball. Just bad losers or........some were very strong.

Bad losers yes, are not we all ?

I am ! I can change my personality very easily if I lose, sport, watching sport, court case, betting or whatever.

Of course being Spain it couldn't be anything to do with the R word,

.....that's all listed under Xenophobia here, which apparently makes it quite acceptable. ;)

To lose face goes quite deep in Spanish culture, as it does in the Middle East, if I may generalise, which is always dicey!
Anti-semitic taunts come quite easily here, but probably in most Western cultures as well.
I think we Brits are better losers or at least we have been; whether it's still true, I'm not sure.

I wondered if someone would come up with the bleeding obvious. If the 18,000 anti-Jewish tweets had come from the UK it would have been different what:eek:
