Sport is often thought of as simply "games," but it can in fact be
much more. Sport can be responsible for guiding social justice
movements, igniting city-wide riots, uniting countries, permanently
injuring youth, revolutionizing views about race, gender and class,
and producing several of the most successful global industries.
Reports of ethical crises in athletics are constant fodder for
popular attention, whether performance enhancing drugs in baseball,
corruption in college athletics, the epidemic of brain damage among
NFL players, and others too numerous to mention. As a proxy for
social concerns, we naturally think of sport in inherently moral
terms. Yet we can hardly define the term "sport," or agree on
acceptable levels of sporting risk, or determine clear roles and
responsibilities for fans, players, coaches, owners, media and
health care personnel. Bringing together 27 of the most essential
recent articles from philosophy, history, sociology, medicine, and
law, this collection explores intersections of sports and ethics
and brings attention to the immense role of sports in shaping and
reflecting social values.
