bad winners
Graceless in triumph
Bad winners are people who gloat, boast, or behave ungraciously after winning a competition or achieving success.
While good sportsmanship calls for humility in victory, bad winners rub their success in opponents' faces, taunt the losing side, or act as though winning entitles them to disrespect others.
Nobody wants to play with him anymore because he's such a bad winner.
The term mirrors the more common phrase "bad loser" or "sore loser."
