About This Quote

Nobody knows how this quote came about, but it is a popular saying among sports fans. When a sport team loses, people will often say that the losing players were on his side and were against the other team. This is an example of using a metaphor to talk about something that has nothing to do with the metaphor. It may be true that some of the team members were doing everything possible to try and win the game, but shouldn’t you take your losses at face value? When you lose a game, shouldn’t it be because you played worse than the other team? This doesn’t account for all sports, though. In baseball, if your pitcher throws a bad pitch and allows a run to score, he was on your side as well as the other team's.
