  • Obviously, Sports Do Not Build Character

    I tend to believe sports do build character. Sports provide a structured "test area" for athletes to perform without the grave consequences for failure found in life. Admittedly, many athletes can perform well on talent alone, and therefore might never learn important moral lessons. But the vast majority can't, and must learn (to some degree) the virtues mentioned in order to succeed athletically. Hopefully, this training is carried over into the rest of their lives.

    Also, this discussion seems solely centered on male athletes. Why aren’t an equal proportion of female athletes falling victim to the “inhumane system?” Are there simply more “virtuous adults” in women’s sports than men’s? I don’t think so. I haven’t read the book mentioned, but the evidence cited seems anecdotal and the entire argument seems knee-jerk reactionary to the recent scandals mentioned.
