Good sportsmanship, should you have to shake you hated rivals hand, why or why not?

In sports there are some very heated rivalries. Where one team does not like the other. I will give a few examples Chicago vs Green Bay, Michigan vs Ohio state, The Red Sox vs the Yankees and many more. Should you have to act like you respect your rivals after the game? You hate them all year but after an intense competition you have to be a good sportsman show good sportsmanship why?

@YukikoAmagi Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my post. I think you have a valid point you must be able to live with yourself no matter what you have done. Have a great day and thanks again.

@Capt11 so men get a WHYY and females gets a "thank you, thank you so much"

@MartinTheFirst I don't look at you or your gender when you answer the question. You did not completely answer the question that is why I asked why. Please don't create something that it is not. I have always respected all people and post even if I do not agree with them. No matter who post a reply you can take the time to read my history on other subjects that I have asked questions about. It seems like your feelings are hurt or perhaps you are extra sensitive however I hope you have a nice day.
