Why I don't consider flagging "Bad-sportsmanship".

Many people say flagging is "Bad sportsmanship", which, personally, I find pretty absurd.

Why I don't consider flagging "Bad-sportsmanship":

Flagging is a mechanic of the game, which, when you play with someone in a chess game with time, you are agreeing to being a mechanic of the game.

Since you agreed to it, it's your own fault if you don't like it, not your opponents.

Calling flagging "Bad-sportsmanship" is the equivalence to calling hitting someone with a ball in dodge-ball, or running while playing basketball "Bad-sportsmanship".

Just some thoughts.

I would love to know your thoughts on the idea of flagging being "Bad-sportsmanship".

100% agree, not much to add

While I agree, those 2 things are not really comparable, due-to-the-fact that stalling is against the chess.com rules, and flagging isn't.

true the people who says flagging is bad sportmanship are idiots

People who call people they disagree with 'idiots' are idiots.

Flagging takes on a myriad of examples. Some flagging is very easily viewed as unsportsmanlike in friendly games where a win is not possible. With stakes at hand- some professionals will and some won’t. It’s a matter of class- you either have it or don’t. 

True.

Agreed

FBI wants to know your location 

How are these two similar at all

Agree 

Flagging in chess is part of the rules.Flagging is part of time planning which is also a skill in chess.Like if you take 10 minutes to make a move and the other takes 5,you were in a winning position but you flag,can you be considered the better player?

I can't think of another sport (if you consider chess a sport) where this is even a conversation. Athletes in pretty much every other sport try to use the clock to their advantage.  If you want to see the perfect example of this, google the end of the boxing match Bute v Andrade.

Yeah, it's not your fault the opponent played too slow!

That’s why baseball is the purest besides golf no clock

Well, they are similar in the sense that they are games...

Flagging is a sensible tactic when an opponent is short of time, it works. It's not sportsmanship. However, if they had managed their clock better it wouldn't work, so it's their own fault. 

Eh what you mean is"Flagging is a sensible tactic when your opponent is short of time.It will work when they have bad management of the time,it is not about bad sportsmanship.However,if they had managed their time better,flagging them would not work.Therefore it is their own fault that they ran out of time" 

If so,I agree

Getting flagged means that you let your own clock run out of time.

It's not the opponent's fault if you get flagged -- it's your own.
