Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions.They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair.Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasn't hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛)of the team for at least three years.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game.The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for.But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义)．
