teamsmanship is a characteristic of being a good sport This prior answer, listed above, is incorrect. There is no such word as Teamsmanship at this time. This word is Urban slang and should be considered such. However, if the English Standard were to ever accept this word as part of their vernacular this could imply both the positive and negative. So be careful how you use slang as the word may be associated with near or like words that have a negative connotation. If English rules apply than the answer may look something like:
Teamsmanship Pronunciation: \ˈtēmz-mən-ˌship\ Function: 'noun' Date: 2009 1 : the art or practice of attempting to make your team the strongest competitor by the use of questionable influence, over zealous expedients, or brute force without trying to actually violate any rules or laws. 2: the use of ethically dubious methods in a group setting to gain an objective *Note: If the English Standard Language ever accepts the use of this slang term, which has been known to happen, (see Yada-Yada-Yada a.k.a 'Empty Talk') then a third definition may be installed. This is the meaning in which the prior post was trying to imply. Function: 'noun' 3 : the characteristic of one denoted as a "good" team player or one who may exhibit thoughtfulness in the spirit of group function.
