Education or MisEducation? Recommended Readings and References. The Ethics of Sport Robert L. He has written widely on ethical issues is sports as well as on topics in political and social philosophy.
Triumph must be measured by absolute fair means, honesty and just play. For every athlete, playing by the written rules is mandatory, and respecting the unwritten ones is a must. Fair play requires unconditional respect for opponents, fellow players, referees and fans. Rivalry on the field does not exclude friendship. On the contrary, friendship could grow from noble rivalries.
Individuals can be strong on their own, but they are much stronger in a team. Sharing the moment of victory with your team is the ultimate pleasure. Competing on equal terms is essential in sport. Otherwise, performance cannot be measured properly. Fair play means not cheating by taking drugs or doping.
Anyone who does this ruins the game for everyone else. Being honest and having strong moral principles are essential to fair play.
Practicing sport within a sound ethical framework is vitally important if you aim to be a true champion. It is important to support each other and share feelings, aims and dreams. Mutual support brings mutual success on and off the field.

The willingness to accept behaviour or decisions you may not agree with develops your self-control. Ultimately, that could be the deciding factor when it comes to winning or losing. True champions care about each other as they are well aware that they could not be where they are without having been cared for by others.
Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games said: "The important thing in life is not the triumph, but the fight. The essential thing is not to have won, but to have fought well. You should never forget about the play even in the heat of the fight. Fair play is not a theory. Fair play is an attitude that manifests itself in behaviour. Whenever we act in the spirit of fair play we contribute to building a peaceful and better world.
Without fairness and trustworthiness the established order of our society is at risk.
