Pretending to be a good sport when you lose a competition

When you lose but remember your parents taught you to be a good sport so you congratulate the other team

This is a 3-panel relatable humor meme. The top text sets up the scenario: when you lose a competition but remember you were raised to be a gracious good sport, so you congratulate the winning team. All three panels feature the same young Black boy with a visibly grumpy, annoyed, unamused facial expression that clearly shows he is actually bitter about losing. Overlaid on his shirt in each panel are polite phrases he is saying even though he does not mean them: first panel 'CONGRATS', second panel 'HAPPY FOR YOU', third panel 'NICE'. The humor comes from the stark, relatable contrast between the polite words he is required to say and his obvious frustration and unhappiness about his loss.
