“…As mentioned earlier, sportsmanship involves moral values such as fairness, respect, and amicability (Arnold, 1994;Clifford & Feezell, 1997;Rudd & Stoll, 1998). Clearly, sport spectators who criticize opposing players for their ability or physical appearance, or who make sarcastic comments such as "Nice job, 7," are not in harmony with the ideals of sportsmanship.…”

Rudd and Stoll (1998) posited that sportsmanship includes the moral values of responsibility, fairness, and respect for one's opponent.

Fan abuse continues to be a serious problem in American college athletics. However, despite the magnitude of this problem, fan abuse has not received the same level of concern (i.e., promotion of sportsmanship and fair play) as “winning-at-all-costs” perpetrated by athletic participants. In response, the author argues that perhaps many in the sport milieu do not consider fan behavior as a moral issue (i.e., actions that are harmful to others) and therefore unworthy of more serious consideration. As a result, the purpose of this study was to explore the types of spectator abuse inflicted upon college athletes as well as assessing the emotional impact. The results of this study showed that college athletes do indeed experience a variety of insults and harassment. However, findings also indicated that athletes are generally emotionally unaffected by the abuse. The contradictory nature of this finding is discussed

“…These individuals are responsible for the hiring, iring, and education and character of the coaches as directed toward athletics. Bryant et al [12] inventoried 208 athletic directors, 187 men and 21 women using the Rudd, Stoll, Beller, Hahm Values Choice Inventory, which measures moral reasoning and social reasoning in sport [21]. Thus far, the social character index has a Cronbach alpha of 0.72-0.74, and the moral character index has a Cronbach alpha of 0.77-0.88.…”

“…Teachers can infuse reflective experiences within various lessons or units before, during, and after class. In order for character education to be effective, it must include purposeful learning experiences that are structured throughout the curriculum, rather than in isolation (Rudd & Stoll, 1998).…”
