Tennis Umpire Calls
The Ethics Of The Game Of Tennis
Watching a tennis match between two promising juniors, one Australian and one New Zealander and the other, the beginning of this Year, I watched a very interesting story.
On match point in the second set, the Australian players clearly failed in trying to run down a drop volley by his opponent. Draw the ball (that was clearly bounced twice) on his opponent's head to put the Australian players to treat the point as if it still "Live".
Meanwhile, the New Zealander, was certain that the game is over, has led towards the net to shake his opponent's hand.
With the exception of the chairman, knew everyone who was there, including the Australian players that the ball bounced twice. Despite a legitimate protest and an appeal to his opponent honesty, "lose" the New Zealander "lost" to the point, come very close to the crowd, and I'm sure would, it is very difficult to win the game It had been a third set.
Had that been the case, the Australian had won the game, it would have been a case of dishonesty, not honesty, the best policy? After all, when it comes to sports, it's not a case of winning is everything, even if it is fraud?
And even if it is not an either Dishonesty, the best policy, or of winning is everything, how can a young player who has just because his opponent's dishonesty to explain lost, honesty is the best policy, and wins if it requires deception, (or even if it is not), not all.
Although others may disagree, it is my contention that any attempt to win by cheating automatically marks the cheat as a loser – no matter what the outcome.
Apart from the fact that viewers can not always honest help but lose all respect for a fraudster can not help you more clearly a fraud, but lose all respect to himself.
No matter how much he tries, he can not escape the negative consequences of his dishonest actions. He can not escape, that he used deception, something (to win a forgery), not be otherwise should have won.
He must live with the self-realization – as well as the knowledge of an audience – that he failed on the principle of honesty, and instead become a crook. He can never feel happy to win in the true sense of the word, its so-called.
Therefore, I would every young tennis player who has just lost a cheat to explain, and which, as a result, mistakenly believes that cheats prosper could do that no more of the truth.
And so my point I would then ask him if he would like to trade places, if only for one second with someone who has a reputation as a crook or if it feels good to win by fraud.
Debate ethics of sports with children is extremely important for two reasons:
The first is that sport offers them one of the best ways to make the ethical principles that apply them in all areas and phases of later life can be formulated.
The second is that sports cheats give the purity of healthy competition a bad name, and should be roundly condemned.
