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.

According to the text above, judge the item below.

Read the following paragraph. Do not be afraid to stand up to anybody who you are sure is trying to make others cheat or engage in other unacceptable behavior. It is better to expose them and have them removed before they can do any damage. It is equally dishonest to go along with a wrongful act. Do not just say no. Tell the authorities about those misguided persons who are trying to spoil our sport before they can persuade somebody else to commit an illegal act.
The sentence Denounce those who attempt to discredit our sport is a suitable title for the paragraph above.
