poor losers
Ungracious in defeat
Poor losers are people who react badly to losing—sulking, making excuses, blaming others, or refusing to acknowledge the winner's success.
The term implies a failure of sportsmanship or grace: Don't be poor losers just because the other team played better.
A poor loser treats defeat as an injustice rather than an outcome to accept.
