PRECIS
Like every other instrument that man has invented, sports can be used either for good or evil purposes. Used well, it can teach endurance and courage, a sense of fair play and respect for rules, coordinated effort, and the subordination of personal interests to those of the group. Used badly, it can encourage personal vanity and the group vanity, greedy desire for victory, and hatred for rivals. In either case, sports teach responsible cooperation; but when it is used badly, the cooperation is for undesirable ends and the result in the individual character is an increase in attachment. When it is used well, the character is modified in the direction of non-attachment. Sports can be either preparing for war or, in some measure, a substitute for war; a trainer of potential warmongers or of potential peace-lovers.
