Sportsmanship and Gamesmanship in Basketball and Football.
Introduction
Sportsmanship comprises ethical morals that govern the manner in which the different players behave during sports. The paper looks into sportsmanship in both football and basketball sports. Also, it addresses the manner in which the sports are conducted and the psychic income that sportsmanship generates to individuals and societies. Football is a sport that is common around the globe. “It involves two teams of 11 players each tossing around an inflated ball towards the opponent’s goal post (McIntosh, 2010). Football sportsmanship stipulates the rules layout to outline the set of morals expected of both the players and the coach (Morgan,2018). The rules help in cultivating ethical morals among the players. Often, the values that players acquire in the course of participating in the sport go a long way in governing their daily behavior. According to Morgan (2018), sportsmanship can either be viewed as moral perfection or minimum morals. Each sportsman should live out the ethical ideals of sportsmanship during games and in the daily lives.
Basketball is a choice sport among many college and high school students. Unlike Football, Basketball involves a team of four or three players who dribble the inflated ball while making passes aiming to shoot into the opponent’s basket. Sportsmanship in basketball is correlated to avoiding fouls during and after the game (Anderson and Pierce. 2009). In contrast to football where the behavior is inculcated as morals are adhered to, basketball sportsmanship is on what one avoids doing in the course of the game. Some behavior traits such as technical fouls do not need to be directed to anyone.
