That power has shone through 140 years of obstacles and setbacks, bans and ridicule, dismissal and devaluation. Today, investors and audiences recognize the value of women’s soccer not because it can raise money for charity or inspire young girls (although it can) but simply because it is good business.

نشجع الأطفال على ممارسة الرياضة كي نغرس فيهم فضائل مثل العمل الجماعي والمثابرة والانضباط، لكن في كثير من الأحيان تثير الرياضة مشكلات أخلاقية شائكة، وهو ما يتضح لنا من الفضائح المتواصلة التي تنقلها لنا عناوين الأخبار. فهل يهدد الجانب الفاسد من الرياضة قدرتها على غرس الفضائل الأخلاقية في حياتنا؟ وهل هذه الفضائل مؤكَّدة من الأساس؟ يقدم روبرت إل. سايمون في هذا الكتاب استقصاءً شاملاً وعميقاً لموضوعات واسعة النطاق تتراوح من أخلاقيات المنافسة، إلى تعاطي العقاقير واستخدام التقنيات المُعزِّزة للأداء، وصولاً إلى المساواة بين الجنسين. إنه كتاب مهمّ ينفذ إلى عمق أسئلة أخلاقيات الرياضة المعقدة، ويستكشف الصلة المنطقيـة بين الفعل الذي يقوم به الرياضيُّ في اللعبة والقواعد الموضوعة المنظمة لتلك اللعبة، ثم يربط الإجابات بالشواغل اليومية حيال القيم والعدالة واللعب النظيف.

E se nos movimentarmos longe de cobranças vazias, padrões inalcançáveis ou metas que ignoram o prazer? Talvez você se surpreenda com seus limites e sua força.
