It focuses on the nature of principles and values that should apply to sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddressing both collegiate and professional sports, \"Fair Play: The Ethics of Sport\" explores the ethical presuppositions of competitive athletics and their connection both to ethical theory and to concrete moral dilemmas that arise in actual athletic competition. This fourth edition has been updated with new examples, including a discussion of Spygate by the New England Patriots and recent discoveries on the use of performance enhancing drugs by top athletes. Two additional authors, Cesar R. Torres and Peter F. Hager, bring to this edition a discussion of the moral issues involved in youth sports and the ethics of being a fan, as well as a fresh perspective on the theories of broad internalism and the quest for excellence. \u003cbr\u003e\"\"[Fair Play]\" is a great work of scholarship: thorough, well-thought out, very well organized, very respectful of athletes and non-athletes alike.\"\u003cbr\u003e Catherine Sherron, Thomas More College \u003cbr\u003e\"Simon, Torres, and Hager meticulously detail important ethical concepts without sacrificing appeal to a more general sport-loving audience. The book also strikes a nice balance between theory and application...[and] thoughtfully addresses applied cases in tandem with more theoretical considerations. This blended approach is, in my mind, an excellent example of how philosophy ought to be performed... It is an excellent model for both beginning and advanced philosophy students alike.\"\u003cbr\u003e Joan Grassbaugh Forry, University of Southern California \u003cbr\u003eRobert L.
