In baseball, is it really 'stealing' a base or a player successfully getting to the next base without being tagged out? We have an ethically loaded term of stealing being used, but we also know that what the player has done is 'not wrong' but a 'just way of playing the game'. SJS does a good job pointing out that there are expectations to a game, but we can still question ethics in the bigger picture. The analogy of baseball, boxing and sports in general is a topical ground for ethics debates. I will only believe someone does not get upset over being plundered if they are a robot or some form of non-human. Sure, in the grand scheme of things, it's just a game, but to deny the ethics/morals is to deny the very reason why people get upset over plundering. That's cowardice, in my book, because it looks like the person is running away from the debate by throwing up a big hand-wave of 'No, I don't value and/or will not talk about ethics in this sacrosanct area of mine'. So I outright disagree with everyone who attempts to dismiss the ethical argument due to 'strategy', 'it's just a game', etc. Looks like some big points have already been set! I'll go right to the screed.Įverything can, and should be looked at with an ethical (or moral) lens.
