Abstract | Great rivalries represent sports at their most dramatic. These contests and the histories behind them can inspire the best in athletes and bring together communities in shared enthusiasm like few other public events can. This is shown in venues large and small, from national pride during the Olympic Games to the community spirit on display when entire small towns turn out to see their high school teams compete. But when fans lose perspective on the purpose and relative importance of sports, rivalries turn rotten. At the interscholastic level, that rot can spread into the school community. When marred by vandalism, insulting chants, threats, and violence--in the name of team spirit--competition threatens to wreck the finest sports have to offer. It can poison the overall climate of a league or school, creating an atmosphere where harassment and bullying may be ignored or overlooked. (ERIC). |
