With all the corruption and politics that have been involved in sports over the years both in the U.S. and internationally some might argue that sport is so intrinsically tied to politics that it is naïve to believe that it could ever be free from political actions like boycotts. Others contend that athletes or fans bear the unfair burden for political uses of sport, especially boycotts.
please answer the following:
Choose an instance of a boycott or strike in sports and briefly discuss it (it can be from the U.S. or internationally).
Who suffered in your opinion the most from the strike or boycott?
What ethical constraints, if any, should there be on political uses of sport? Why? How realistic do these seem?
