Sort of "Sacrilegious" To Say "Good Game" When Lost?

I guess my football player son and many others won't agree about this, but even though our team lost, it was a good game.  At least up in the stands/bleachers there was a nice atmosphere.

People enjoyed the food that was for sale and the surprisingly good football skills on the field.

Yes, win or lose, there's a mutual admiration society between fans and players.
