Sport
"Like every other instrument
man invented, sport can be used either for good or for evil purposes.
Used well, it can teach endurance and courage, a sense of fair play and
a respect for rules, co-ordinated effort and the subordination of personal
interest to those of the group. Used badly, it can encourage personal
vanity and group vanity, greedy desire for victory and the hatred for
rivals, an intolerant esprit de corps and contempt for people
beyond a certain arbitrarily selected pale."
-Aldous Huxley, 1937 |
