Actually the "Spirit of the Game" was an ancient native American god, named I-suck-a-tu which was know for is constant complaining. The native americans of that tribe associated him with the sound that the wind makes when its blowing crap through the air. When the English settlers came here to America they adopted the word "whine" or "whiner" from this sound and native American belief. :thumbsup: :P :thumbsup:
