What does Fairplay mean?

• A. Winning at all costs
• B. The unwritten rules of sport that promote fairplay and sportsmanship
• C. Breaking the rules when it suits you
• D. Ignoring officials

Answer: (B)

Fair play means behaving in sport in a way that respects both the rules and the spirit of the game, showing respect to opponents, teammates, and officials. It’s guided by unwritten rules that promote fair play and sportsmanship: playing honestly, accepting decisions, and competing with integrity rather than trying to gain an unfair advantage. Examples include not cheating, not arguing with referees, and supporting good conduct on and off the field. This is opposed to winning at all costs, breaking the rules when it suits you, or ignoring officials, which undermine fairness and the integrity of sport.
