You don't get it. It's not that Americans don't understand, it's that many would see it as teaching your kids to ask the winner for pity. In the US, we traditionally have a different mentality regarding competition. A lot of people don't get it, many are intimidated by it. We don't ask for pity and favors. If you want to think of it as wrong then you do you.
You have kids?
They give away a trophy to every one of them nowadays. There are no losers and winners anymore. It a bunch of BS but that's the world we live in now. Bunch of emotionally unstable people who can't take losing so we have to appease them to not hurt their feelings.
This has nothing to do with the Nonito situation as that's just 2 sportsman at the highest level showing respect and humility in Donaires case to one another.

North America's lack emotional intelligence. You're one of them.
Your lack of understanding for decisions made by someone else is shocking. With the Internet, you can learn a lot about others.
