Sport Ethics in Context

Sport Ethics in Context is a thought-provoking collection of essays that explores what constitutes the ethical domain, ethical practice, ethics, education, and ethics-all in the context of sport. This book goes beyond the usual focus in sport ethics on responsibilities, and explores ethical responsibilities to teammates, coaches, and others associated with a team. As well, this collection describes a "new sport ethics," through which participants might come to question those practices that sport discipline creates. Shogan argues that if sport is to be a vehicle for a better understanding of and appreciation for ethical responses, it is necessary to pay attention to just what is at stake in the ethical domain, including the components of an ethical response and how sport leaders might facilitate ethical responses in a sport environment. Stimulating and insightful. Sport Ethics in Context will be of interest to those teaching in the field of ethics and sport, and also, to sport organizers, coaches, athletes, and general readers wanting to learn more about this controversial aspect of sport.
