FRJB25 DC FAIR PLAY Fans' behaviours during sport events

15 févr. 2025

Firstly, the group of 10 students worked together on the concept of fair play through 3 lines of research:

-its etymology and origin: ‘Fair’ comes from medieval English and means ‘beautiful’, ‘pleasant’, ‘pure’. Its first appearance in 1205 applied to the weather. ‘Play’ also comes from medieval English and means “to indulge in physical activity, to frolic, to make music”. Shakespeare was the first to combine the two : he used the term “fair play” to refer to the courteous or polite relationship between adversaries in wartime in ‘King John’ (1598). It wasn't until 1856 that ‘fair’ was associated with sport

-the different aspects of sportsmanship : respect for the opponent, the rules, the referee's decisions, the public and the spirit of the game, but also loyalty, self-control and dignity in victory and defeat

-the list of individuals who have a role to play in the application of fair play in the sporting world : sportsmen and women, coaches, referees, spectators, the media/journalists, but also doctors/healers, sports organisations, teachers/educators, parents, etc.

The students are then divided into 4 groups : each group lists 5 attitudes / situations where fair play is demonstrated in the sporting world, and 5 attitudes / situations where it is not, which they put together on a mind map. Finally, they searched the internet for videos illustrating each of these 10 attitudes and put together a montage of these video extracts.

The 10 students presented their research to the rest of the class, first all together, then each group explained its mind map and showed its video.
