  3. How far would you go to win? Ethics in football and other sports

Presentation time: Thursday, 29 September, 2016 - 21:15

This session will be a discussion on ‘ethics in football and other sports’. So, it will facilitate a (hopefully light-hearted) debate about:

  • Ethics relating to football and different sports (i.e. golf and snooker). Specific points of discussion include footballers diving/cheating and trying to hide it – golfers and snooker players, in contrast, being honest when they make a mistake (i.e. touching the ball – they don’t hide the fact that they should be penalised).
  • There is a question why some sports people don’t get penalised (i.e. basketball shirt tugging for instance).
  • We’ll think about how wider social views/judgements are shaped or influenced by sport and how this might be relevant to business and law students (i.e. plagiarism).
