I can't find the if these two expressions have the same meaning. I would like to know if "sore loser" and "bad loser" have the same meaning.
Note: Originally asked about "sore player" or "bad player".

We do not usually call people taking part in games, competitions, sporting or other wise, "bad" or "sore" players, but we can call someone who behaves childishly, badly or unsportingly, after losing in a game, competition, etc, a bad or sore loser. "Bad" is more common in British English, and "sore" is more common in American English.
