Tämäkin vielä - urheilun vaarat :-)

Suomalainen tutkimus tuli johtopäätökseen, että urheilevat nuoret juovat enemmän. Norjalainen tutkimus kertoi, että urheilun katsominen tyhmentää ihmistä. Sanotaan myös, että urheilija ei tervettä päivää näe. Mitä vielä? Jenkit ovat tulleet tulokseen, että urheilevat nuoret vielä huijaavatkin enemmän kuin ei-urheilevat. :-)

Survey: Sports may not build character
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Conventional wisdom holds that sports builds character, but a new survey suggests U.S. high school athletes cheat more than classmates who don't play sports.

The two-year study of high school athletes -- conducted by the Josephson Institute of Ethics in Los Angeles -- also found growing acceptance of cheating as a way to gain competitive advantage, the Los Angeles Times reported.


Michael Josephson, president and founder of the institute, told the newspaper the report -- based on interviews with 5,275 high school athletes across the United States -- found that many coaches are "teaching our kids to cheat and cut corners."


"There is reason to worry that the sports fields of America are becoming the training grounds for the next generation of corporate and political villains and thieves," said Josephson.


James Staunton, commissioner of the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section -- the governing body for most high school sports in Southern California -- told the newspaper he "hopes" ethical deviance hasn't "gone that far."


"What this points out to me is that we still have a tremendous amount of work to do with our athletes, parents and coaches," Staunton said.
