Members of the Case Western Reserve University community are invited to enroll in Siegal Lifelong Learning Program’s “Fair Play: The Ethics of Sports” course. This course is ideal for athletes, sports fans or those simply curious about how ethics play out in the world of sports.
Throughout this remote, interactive course, participants will address various ethical concerns, such as:
- What is the difference between unethical gamesmanship and ethical sportsmanship?
- Is it ethical to be a football fan given what we now know about the effects of repeated head trauma?
- Should baseball players who used steroids be admitted to the Hall of Fame?
- Should there be rules against taunting in basketball, end zone celebrations in football and bat flipping in baseball?
- Should athletes speak out on social issues or not?
Course sessions will take place Tuesdays, Jan. 6 to 27, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
