Sport, Rules and Values

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the philosophical aspects of sport, this book examines key issues through real-life examples drawn from newspaper reports. It delves into topics such as the subjectivity of umpiring decisions, highlighted by the controversial judging in ice-skating at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Rich in concrete cases from various sports, including baseball, football, and soccer, it encourages readers to reflect on the values and rules that underpin athletic competition.
