Lesson 6-2 Thesporting spirit

On the village

green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved,

it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the

question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit

will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused．Anyone who has played even in a school

football match knows this．At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare．But the significant thing is not thebehavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind thespectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurdcontests, and seriously believe --- at any rate for short periods --- thatrunning, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.
