What is Fairplay?
Fairplay is not merely a term; it’s a guiding principle that should echo in every corner of our lives. The concept of fairplay revolves around playing within the rules and spirit of a game or competition, treating others with respect, and upholding principles of sportsmanship. It’s a beacon of integrity, honesty, and respect for one’s opponents. In sports, fairplay means following established rules, avoiding cheating or unsportsmanlike conduct, and gracefully accepting both victory and defeat. Sports organizations and governing bodies globally emphasize the values of fairplay, often implementing codes of conduct or fair play initiatives to encourage athletes, coaches, and spectators to embody these principles.
