This book offers readers a pitch-side view of the ethics of fandom. Its accessible six chapters are aimed both at true sports fans whose conscience may be occasionally piqued by their pastime, and at those who are more certain of the moral hazards involved in following a team or sport.Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan wrestles with a range of arguments against fandom and counters with its own arguments on why being a fan is very often a good thing. It looks at the ethical issues fans face, from the violent or racist behavior of those in the stands, to players' infamous misdeeds, to owners debasing their own clubs. In response to these moral risks, the book argues that by being critical fans, followers of a team or individual can reap the benefits of fandom while avoiding many of the ethical pitfalls. The authors show the value in deeply loving a team but also how a condition of this value is recognizing that the love of a fan comes with real limits and responsibilities.Key FeaturesProvides an accessible introduction to a key area of the philosophy of sportClosely looks at some of the salient ethical concerns around sports fandomProposes that the value of community in partisan fandom should not be underestimated as a key feature of the good lifeExamines how the same emotions and environments that can lead to violence are identical to those that lead to virtuous loyaltyArgues for a fan's responsibility in calling out violence or racist behavior from their fellow fans

Este estudo inves­tigou o que os torcedores organizados teriam a dizer sobre a violência no futebol brasileiro, para depois inter­pretar tais discursos à luz do referencial teórico de Johan Galtung. Visando contribuir com o debate sobre a violência no futebol, nesta abordagem, optamos pelo viés da compreensão em lugar da visão estigmatizante e preconceituosa sobre o tema. Defendemos que reduzir a discussão da vio­lência no futebol meramente à ação das torcidas organizadas frag­menta a análise desse complexo fenômeno e se mostra improdutivo, pois a violência no futebol perpassa a organização, gestão e estrutura do futebol brasileiro, além dos episódios de violência física.

This book is the result of research from the project “Physical Education and school: sport as content and its teaching” (2009-2013) 11 / H573, as a continuation of previous studies, which were carried out in sports institutions. The product presents the characteristics and particularities of sports treatment and teaching, in public and private schools in the region and surrounding areas, at the primary and secondary levels, in classes organized with students grouped by sex or in a mixed form. From a qualitative-interpretative perspective, we worked on the collection of information through observation and class registration, interviews with teachers, professors, students and experts, analysis of planning and of subject books, as well as theoretical and technical-methodological texts of current use at school and among teachers. The Physical Education Curriculum Design for the primary and secondary levels was also analyzed. The treatment carried out with these materials, among others, is reflected in a particular way in the different chapters, showing both different possibilities of cross-linking of sources and information as well as analysis and interpretation. Those same chapters show different ways to describe and write. At the same time, this product includes in particular a discussion given by the team about the meanings and meanings that can be assigned and given to sport, at an advanced stage in the development of research, trying to reflect and respect the views and voices present in the information obtained. In this sense, the discussion around the particular characteristics that sport takes at school when teaching is privileged, which supposes changes and special assignments to it that exceed the traditional and classic characterizations existing in the field. At the end, some general conclusions are presented that add to the particular ones made in each chapter.

Parmi les sports de compétition, le rugby apparaît comme l’un des plus « virils ». Il doit pour une bonne part cette réputation au jeu lui-même - mêlées, plaquages et autres « percussions » plus ou moins violentes -, mais aussi au parfum de scandale qui entoure les « troisièmes mi-temps » d’après match. La rumeur véhicule à leur propos des légendes épiques et picaresques d’excès alimentaires, éthyliques ou sexuels qui semblent également faire partie du jeu. Le monde du rugby institue ainsi une sociabilité d’hommes qui passe par l’exclusion, volontiers emphatique, des femmes et tout particulièrement des épouses de joueurs, celles que l’on appelle parfois les « veuves du rugby ». Mais les femmes et les valeurs du féminin ne sont-elles pas beaucoup plus présentes qu’il n’y paraît de prime abord ? Grâce à une ethnographie approfondie, Anne Saouter démontre que, à côté du modèle dominant dans lequel les femmes ne peuvent être que des « mamans » ou des « putains », on voit se dessiner d’autres modes de présence du féminin, grâce notamment au personnage encore marginal de la joueuse de rugby. L’expansion du rugby féminin suffira-t-elle cependant à remettre en cause un édifice symbolique qui, du moins dans le rugby français, correspondait à une véritable initiation masculine ? Initiation qui imposait déjà des jeux ambigus avec la définition des sexes, dont témoigne le soupçon d’homosexualité (plus ou moins « refoulée ») qui pèse sur les joueurs.

Im Handlungsfeld Coaching stellt die Digitalisierung alle Beteiligten vor massive Herausforderungen. Ein flächendeckendes Umdenken findet spätestens seit der weltweiten Corona-Pandemie statt - mit folgenreichen Konsequenzen für die Coachingbranche. Coaching hat sich in den letzten Jahren signifikant weiterentwickelt und sieht sich mit umwälzenden Effekten einer zunehmenden Digitalisierung und gesellschaftlichen Transformation konfrontiert. Kommunikation stößt kaum mehr auf Grenzen und verbindet auf Knopfdruck entlegene Kontinente. Unternehmen aus allen Branchen setzen auf neue Organisationsformen. Die Anforderungen an Arbeitnehmer*innen verändern sich permanent. Agilität wird zum Schlagwort. Im Kontext dieser Entwicklung stellen sich für Coaching u. a. folgende Fragen: Wie wirkt sich die Digitalisierung auf den Bedarf von Coaching aus? Wie verändert die Digitalisierung das Beratungsformat Coaching? Wie wirksam ist Digital Coaching im Vergleich?
