This course is based on the premise that talking about the nature and purpose of sports is one of the best things about sports. We will consider questions like: Could it be that winning really is the only thing? Can (or should) politics be left out of sports? Are combat sports ethical? Is it irrational for fans to take pride in the accomplishments of their favorite team? Where do the unwritten rules of a sport come from? What is the point of sports?
