Nobody likes losing, right? It’s not a great feeling. Remember the Rangers and Cardinals in 2011? Not fun.
And it seems that Texans are some of the worst when it comes to acting like a “good sport” after a defeat.
A study on the website Captain Gambling found that 40% of Texans admit to being a “sore loser” and not taking losses well. The survey found that Texans admitted to feeling “frustrated and disappointed when losing a game,” and that the most common response to losing a game was for Texans to “laugh it off.”
The states that seem to accept defeat the most: Utah and Iowa.
Captain Gambling found that only 17% of residents in these states say they feel upset when they lose.
The worst though: Arkansas, where an astonishing 83% of people consider themselves sore losers!
