We are also interested in explorations of the relationship between play and other human activities (such as other recreational activities, education, or work), structured vs. unstructured play, and children’s play vs. adult play.  Submissions are due by February 1, 2016.

Ethics and the St. Louis Cardinals' Hacking Case

As most are now probably aware, the St. Louis Cardinals are under investigation for possibly hacking into the database of the Houston Astros. It has been suggested that this occurred on several occasions . Whatever the outcome of this particular case, it raises some interesting ethical questions. Here, I'll address one such question: What's wrong with hacking into your opponent's computer system? First, it involves breaking a just law designed to protect privacy. The information in this alleged hacking case included data related to players, trades, and scouting reports. The Cardinals have no business trying to access this information. Like any other corporation, they have no right to do this, and are obligated to respect the work and privacy of the Houston Astros. Second, such behavior is unsportsmanlike. If the Cardinals are guilty and were able to gain an unfair advantage with this information, it could amount to cheating and as such violates the norms and ethics of sp...

Armenia took the lead when Brazilian-born Marcos Pizzelli unleashed an unstoppable free-kick from 35 yards which flew past Rui Patricio and in off the underside of the crossbar after 14 minutes. The hosts' lead lasted less than quarter of an hour as Ronaldo calmly sent goalkeeper Roman Berezovski the wrong way after Joao Moutinho had been brought down inside the box by Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
