2.2 ETHICS IN SPORTS

Ethics are the principles, basis or foundation of a set of morals and values that
form the character of each person through action, into their way of being. Ethics
is thus the behavior and ways of life through which individual tends to realize
the value of the goodness. There are four key ethics in sports: fairness, integrity,
responsibility and respect.

Fairness

Player as well as coach must follow the rules and regulation of their specific
game. The rules must be applied equally to both teams by the referees; personal
interest or biasness should not be seen in results. Any person cannot be eliminated
of the basis of sexual orientation, gender or race. Integrity of sports is violated
when player or coach use unfair advantage over their opponent.

Integrity

Any means and methods used by opponent that are against the integrity of game
or sports spirit show lack of integrity on that person’s part. An example of football
may give the clear picture, whenever a player fakes foul or injure during game,
