Values in Sports

In early January of this year, the biggest performance improvement drug scandal in sports history was mentioned. Lance Armstrong was the winner of the Tour de France for the seventh consecutive year and in a television interview with Oprah he acknowledged consuming banned substances in a competing bicycle race. One of the main reasons Armstrong lists the use of illegal drugs is winning at all costs, competing at the highest level. According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, the definition of competition means "to win or win something by defeating or building a person superior to other people trying to do the same thing".

The desire to win victory in violation of ethics absolutely threatens the essential value of American sports. Most adults (75%), contrary to sports ethics, agree that athletes use substances that improve their abilities. In the United States, the most serious problem faced by today's sports is listed the use of performance-enhancing drugs, followed by money and the famous athlete's crime, which is further emphasized . Nearly two-thirds of American adults believe that sports emphasize the importance of victory, two-fifths (41%) believe that individual bending and rule violations are "winners" It is motivated by the willingness to become. People who participate in sports think that the desire to become a winner is the main motivation for fraud. As children grow older (and their bets are getting higher), teenagers experience fraud more than younger children (8-10 years old), and they are more tolerant of it.

Discussion about the value of sports in education continues. As an educational institution and entertainment industry, sports are deeply rooted in society. Discussion that sports brings beneficial benefits for young people and young adults still exists and therefore needs to be prominent in education systems. The wide range of results is due to contemporary sports and competition. Critics condemn excessive violence in sports, unduly highlighting competition and victory, and exploit individuals. Sports supporters praise sports as a contributor to health, personal realization, and community integration

The role of sports in society, especially at school has been controversial for decades. There are various perspectives on the value of sports, but at the end of a unified sports campaign, praise the same goals and goals as all education, whereas those claiming sports should be separated from those of entertainment It is a career. Education is simple. The development of organized sports and games in the United States has a long history. Early settlers in the United States brought several matches, but it was not in the community that there was not a very few organized sports, and there was no school until the middle of the 19th century. Although little is known about the early history of sports development, most authorities have agreed with the historical evolution of the American major sports developed in the 18th century.
