FIFA Fair Play
[1] The generic concept of fair play is a fundamental
part of the game of football. It represents the positive
benefits of playing by the rules, using common sense and
[4] respecting fellow players, referees, opponents and fans.
The Fair Play Campaign was conceived largely as
an indirect result of the 1986 FIFA World Cup™ in Mexico,
[7] when the handball goal by Diego Maradona stimulated the
admirable reaction of the England coach, Sir Bobby Robson.
Since then, the campaign has had the unconditional support
[10] of former FIFA President João Havelange and his successor,
current President Joseph S. Blatter.
To give fair play more visibility, FIFA created a
[13] programme that turned the generic notion into a simple
design and an easy to understand code of conduct that could
be recognized and respected by players and fans alike.
[16] Fair Play has a fundamental role in sport and there
is a need to apply it to all sporting activities, especially
children’s. Children need strong values to grow up with, and
[19] football, being a team sport, makes them realize how
essential discipline, respect, team spirit and fair play are for
the game and for life.

There is a direct relation between the Fair Play Code and the social code: Playing without causing harm to others.
Against Death Penalty
[1] Those who judge and condemn, say that capital
punishment is necessary. Firstly, because it is necessary to
remove from the social community a member who has
[4] already injured it, and might injure it even more. If that is all,
a life sentence would suffice. What is the use of bringing
death? You may argue that one might escape from jail —
[7] keep better watch, then! Let there be no executioner where
the jailer suffices.
One might also say society must avenge itself,
[10]society must punish. Neither one nor the other: vengeance is
an individual act, and punishment belongs to God. Society is
between the two; punishment is above it, vengeance is
[13] beneath it. Nothing so great or so small should be in its
sphere. Society should not punish in order to avenge itself; it
should correct, in order to improve!
[16] The third and last reason remains, the theory of
examples. It is imperative to set examples. By the sight of the
fate inflicted on criminals, we must shock those who might
[19] otherwise be tempted to imitate them! Well; above all, we
deny the power of the example. We deny that the spectacle of
torment produces the desired effect. Rather than edifying the
[22] common people, it demoralizes them and blunts in them all
sensibility.
