Ethics In Sports

What is Ethics? My understanding of Ethics is that it is the difference between doing something right or doing something wrong. People make choices in life that could affect them either positively or negatively. For example, when I make the choice to go to all of my classes on Monday this would be the right thing for me to do. By paying attention, by making sure I understand the material, taking notes, raising my hand and asking questions will enable me to become better prepared. I would benefit by going to every class for the entire semester which will help me become more organized and equipped which could eventually lead to better grades and understanding. On the other hand, the wrong decision would be not to go to all of my classes. I would
For example, some players were being paid under the table by the University based on their performance. Additionally, other teams were allowing ineligible players to compete. Both examples are unethical and didn’t follow the code and mission statement of the College or University. The University of Minnesota’s men's basketball team and The University of North Carolina’s women’s basketball team and men’s soccer teams both had ethical issues that were seen as a violation to the code of ethics. There records and standings show an importance to how well or how bad they played in there year to year season. Sports that are played in the NCAA division 1 league are Baseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, Soccer, Lacrosse etc. of both genders. Other divisions and conferences have a more harder and higher level of teams to play at and compete at to see who is the best out of all the teams.

Each universities have guidelines and specific rules that they follow in preparation to face an opposing team for competition. But when student athletes violates an ethical standard at there university or college it could really do a lot of damage to there career as an
To me, the definition of Ethics is the difference between doing something right and doing something wrong. For example, by going to classes I would benefit by being more prepared for exams which could lead to a passing grade. One recommendation that I have is to do the right thing. You can never go wrong doing the right thing. The second recommendation is to always follow the Code of Ethics or Mission Statement of your Organization. By not adhering to moral standards or principles, there could be unfavorable consequences. Making the wrong decisions in life will not help you benefit anything from that specific decision that you made. Doing something right by going to classes during school would benefit your learning for that day and help you prepare for tests.. The University Of Minnesota and The University of North Carolina both had there own ethical issues to athletes. Sports team have ethical issues within their team. The way the team has ethical issues is if the athletes do not put there main priority school before sports as an athlete. If they do that they will succeed but if they choose to not do that they will have consequences. As I stated above both of these universities have had problems ethically with there athletes in the NCAA Division 1 league which was not good at all. The more effort your team puts into the game
