19.Some people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others argue that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both opinions,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by some unfortunate incidents happening in minor national contests.
One country received its silver medals with great anger after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match since the loser refuse the final decisions.They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents'victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said:"This wasn't hockey.Hockey and the international Hockey Federation are finished."The president of the Federation said later that behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia,after a doubtful end to their contest.The game had ended in disturbance.It was thought at first that the United States had won,by a single point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time that the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury(申訴仲裁) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game.The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals,or in non-national terms,might be too much to hope for.But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(愛國).
