Course detail: Ethics and Sports

In this interactive online discussion class, we'll explore ethical issues in the world of sports. 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? What ethical issues arise when people gamble on sports? And should athletes speak out on social issues, or not? Come join the conversation!
