Should the ban on the playground game 'British Bulldog' be overturned in an attempt to combat chi...

British Bulldog is a traditional playground game a bit like tag; players have to run from one side of the playing field to the other without being caught by one of the designated 'bulldogs'. It can get quite violent, which has led to it being banned by many schools. But is this cotton wool approa...more...

Are the LGPA right to expect their members to speak english?

The LGPA regulates women's golf in America and recently decreed that all players must pass an English proficiency test to play in their tournaments. The LGPA is dominated by South Korean players. Is this racism or a reasonable request given the need for players to mingle with sponsors?more...

Are Tottenham right to threaten to keep Berbatov on the bench?

Dimitar Berbatov wants to move to Man Utd. Man Utd want to him buy. Problem is Tottenham don’t want to sell, or at least not too cheaply anyway. They have threatened to make him rot in the reserves. Is this spiteful and self-destructive, or a right and proper moral stand?more...

The money we spend on our Olympic 'medal count' is money well spent.

It's been estimated Britain had to invest around £15m for each gold medal won. With similar figures coming from Australia – and presumably other countries too – the question is, is this money well spent? Are we getting a good return on investment or should we put our limited resources elsewhere?more...

Hosting the Olympics, a great British decision?

The flag has been handed to Boris, the countdown has begun. London will be the next city to host the Olympic games. But people don't seem to be very excited about the prospect, despite the success of Team GB. Why is that, surely the decision to host the Olympics is a wise one?more...

Rugby should become the nation's sport rather than football

Rugby is a real sport filled with suspense, skill and entertainment. The football league is in fact the ‘Andrex’ league as players can not sustain any injury without becoming a complete baby and being stretchered off. Rugby players get bloody injuries, break bones andstill continue to play: somet...more...

'Diving' in football matches should be more severly punished, even after the match.

'Diving' is bringing down the whole reputation of football. Trying to trick and deceive the referee is cheating and too often it goes un-punished. At present, players can be suspended and fined for violent conduct even if the referee does not see the incident at the time. This should also be the ...more...

The NBA's age limit should be changed to two years after high school

The way that so many young basketball players are leaving school to play sport without gaining a proper education is despicable. To better teach these young adults, the age limit should be at two years after finishing high school. In this way, these individuals will learn the process of having a...more...

Where should the line be drawn on chanting at football games?

At football matches across the UK (and the world) the raw passion and emotion that makes football the great game it is brings out both the best and worst in its supporters. The purpose of this debate is to find what is acceptable material for terrace 'banter' and what goes too far. For example, a...more...

This year's Summer Olympics should be used as a platform to highlight human rights issues in China.

From the very first moment that China was awarded the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games there has been a certain degree of opposition to that decision.

The England national football team manager should be English

How is it that all the players must be English but the manager, surely the most important individual of the lot, can be from anywhere in the world?more...

Use of goal line technology in football is overdue, and can only lead to benefits.

Surely anything that will lead to fair decisions, help the decision-makers, and stop doubts and controversy has to be a good thing? It works in other sports. Ok, that's not what football officialdom thinks, but what do they know? Cost arguments? Slow down the game arguments? Technology not reliab...more...

Stop the Olympic Games

‘Olympism’ is the embodiment of a Eurocentric, racist ideology upon which various Olympic hosts draw to produce a public image addressed to the rest of the world. This has been true from the first modern Olympics to the current day. Should we let this continue?more...

Winning the Champions League is better than winning the Premier League

‘Champions of England’ or ‘Champions of Europe’ – to an outsider the decision as to which title is more preferable would appear to be obvious, but just how valid is this assumption?more...

The amount of money in the English Premier League is making football less competitive.

Over the last 15 years the English Premier League and its clubs have enjoyed such an influx of money that it can call itself the richest league in the world. However, has all this wealth at the top end of the beautiful game been shared around too few clubs, and made football less competitive?more...
