‘Sports Ethics is a cleverly compiled anthology that clearly addresses the main issues facing sport today. Previously published classical arguments by highly respected sport philosophers are augmented by ten new articles written specifically for this anthology. This is topical, well organized and insightful – an excellent addition to the literature.’ John M. Charles, The College of William and Mary ‘The selections in this volume give a powerful statement of the common practices in sport which negate the values that sport is supposed to instill: justice, respect, responsibility, and honesty. In addition, Dean Smith's foreword offers a thoughtful, pragmatic point of view which often is lost in theoretical work.’ Sharon Kay Stoll, University of Idaho
The essays in this reader examine philosophical issues such as sportsmanship, violence, cheating, drug use, racism, sexism, and gender equity.
