Ethics In Sport- Understanding
of the key terms relating to ethics
in sport
Amateurism= nineteenth century code or ideal of sporting ethics which developed
among the upper class then middle classes in the Victorian era
In nineteenth century elite sport was dominated by upper upper and middle classes
who had high status in sport as well as in society
upper and middle class amateurs held a higher status than professionals at the time
The code of amateurism encouraged socially acceptable behaviour in sport and
was based on playing sport to clearly set rules , rules were put in place by middle
and upper classes which than formed many national governing bodies,
development of written rules gave sports a clear structure and fairness such as
having equal numbers on a team
Amateurism closely adhered to a code of ethics which involved playing sports to a
high set of moral values which included fair play and sportsmanship, immediate
acceptance of the rules and refereeing decisions...
Participation in sport was seen as more important than winning and taking part was
viewed as a character building exercise
Middle and upper classes played sport according to their God-given abilities and
training was frowned upon as this would constitute professionalism
In modern day British sport amateurism is still evident in a number of ways
including, fair play and sportsmanship which is still viewed positively and promoted
in a number of ways such as fair play rewards in football and shaking hands, sports
such as rugby union still have codes of conduct based upon principles like calling
referee sir
