VIOLENCE AS A BIOETHICAL ISSUE IN SPORT

In the past decades, sport has emerged as an essential factor in shaping culture in many societies. Coupled with the pervasive presence of television and instant reporting of events across the globe, sport has become the spotlight for all that is common across cultures. Conversely, sport has also become a pivotal issue when one examines values, priorities, ethics, lifestyle, and well-being in modern societies. We are regularly exposed to the media outline of sport and violence in sports ; we forget that violence is often associated with sport in many invisible ways. When we talk about violence and sport, we usually think primarily about violence among players or violence among fans, completely ignoring many other forms of violence associated with sport. In our reflection, we should bear in mind that sport is merely a reflection of society. Taking this into account in our presentation, we will show that there are multiple forms of violence around and in sports. In the paper, we will use the definition and types of sport-related violence by Kevin Young. Through the analysis of the types of sport-related violence, we will determine how much sport-related violence is a bioethical issue. In this paper, we will show that sports violence is not limited to the sports field alone, but that it encompasses many spheres of life and society. The expected scientific contribution of the paper is to point out the broad and comprehensive problem of violence in and around sports. Only through accurate detection of all types of violence in and around sports, it is possible to find a fundamental starting point for trying to solve the problem of violence in and around sports.
