[Quote No.36348] Need Area: Body > Exercise
"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play [although it should. The inspiring, humanistic aspirations embodied in the philosophy of the modern Olympics should be our underpinning values. However ‘serious sport’ unfortunately often seems to have succumbed to our baser instincts]. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting. [It should be our challenge in sport, as in all life, to do our best while holding ourselves to the highest standards of moral and ethical behaviour. To do less is to not live up to our best potential, set a bad example for others and besmirch our own, our team's, our country's, and even humanity's honour.]" - George Orwell
