Surely "to feel honoured" is the more apt emotion.

Have you noticed that every sports star these days is 'humbled' when
they achieve a milestone or receive an award? Has the meaning of this
word changed? I'm not sure what they mean when they say it, and I
suspect they don't know either.

Hmmm, I hope this is not sour grapes because my team (Port Adelaide) did
not make it to the finals this year!

cheers
