Sport brings out the worst in people, both fans and athletes. It does not improve character or help to develop virtues such as fair play and respect for opponents., Sport doesn’t make you happy. Spectators as well as participants have higher than average levels of stress, anxiety, and hopelessness because of their engagement with professional sport., Doping is no worse than any other kind of cheating and is really no different from using other kinds of technology to gain an advantage, e.g. high-tech running shoes., It’s ridiculous to expect professional sports stars to be role models., Sport occupies a disproportionately high place in the media, often making headlines in papers and on TV., Large-scale sports tournaments have a detrimental impact on a host city’s economy., The massive pay disparity between female and male competitors is unjust., Team sports diminish personal responsibility and lead to ‘pack behaviour’, where no single individual feels responsible for his / her actions., Sponsorship of sports clubs and events by brands representing industries such as fast food, alcohol, or gambling misleads the public about making healthy lifestyle choices., The use of animals in sport is exploitative and cruel.
