It might help to remind him why he does not deserve the benefit of good sportsmanship.
When I was a kid, a family friend used to work in the Winnipeg arena and he gave me a game used Gretzky hockey stick. I thrashed it to shreds playing street hockey with it.

To be fair, in hindsight he was probably lying to us. It wasn't autographed and there was no way to actually prove it was Gretzky's stick. He said Gretzky was pissed off going to the dressing room and threw it in a track can, so he went and grabbed it. But in my 9 year mind, it was a legit Gretzky stick. My Oiler friend wanted it so bad, and it drove him to tears that I was "disrespecting" by using it for street hockey.
