Beyond the situation Sports in America The important impact of sports on American society is acknowledged by the U.S. Government. The commitment to skills such as teamwork, self-discipline, and sportsmanship is especially highlighted by The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. It serves as a catalyst to promote, encourage and motivate the development of physical fitness and sports participation for all Americans of all ages. Sport plays a major role in American society as it accounts for the most popular form of recreation. Many Americans are involved in sports - either as a participant or as a spectator. Amateur sports distinguishes between recreational and competitive sports. Favorite recreational activities include hiking, walking, boating, hunting, and fishing. All of these are liked for the recreational value as well as for exercise. But there are also many other sports activities in America which attract millions of participants for personal enjoyment, the love of competition and for the benefits of fitness and health. In addition, sport teaches social values like teamwork, sportsmanship, self-discipline, and persistence that are highly regarded in U.S. society. All these requirements are well covered in team sports such as baseball, basketball, football, volleyball that gained increased emphasis in the 20th century. Individual sports like swimming, golf, tennis, bowling, skiing, track and field are equally popular. Americans also take part in sports as spectators - actually at the contest or via television. It is great entertainment for sports fans to watch their teams and athletes competing in professional sports. Favorites are typical American sports like baseball, basketball, and football. Sportsmanship “In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more that that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?” By Jesse Owens Good Sportsmanship Rules The “Golden Rule” -- Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Show respect for them if you expect it yourself. Have an understanding and an appreciation of the rules. The spirit of good sportsmanship depends on conforming to (服从) the intent of the rule and not on looking for a loophole (漏洞). Enjoy yourself and encourage enjoyment for others. We play sports for recreation so let’s make it that. Take responsibility for your actions. Don’t blame others for your mistakes or find excuses for poor behavior. Recognize and appreciate good performances, especially by the opponent. Applause for an opponent’s good play demonstrates generosity and courtesy. It shows a true awareness of the game and athletic ability. Exhibit respect for the officials. Umpires (裁判) are impartial arbitrators who perform to the best of their ability to make sure the game is played fair and within the rules. Mistakes made by all those involved are part of the game and must be accepted. Expect proper behavior from your teammates. If you allow a teammate to cheat, to play dangerously, to argue and scream at officials, you are condoning that behavior. Practice Activities 1. Make similar dialogues with your partner discussing your favorite sports activities and the reasons why you enjoy them. 2. Discuss with your partner some of the social values taught by sport. |
