The sports issue which we wanted to examine in this paper, by proposing the viewpoint of others, is the way in which sympathies and common understandings are established among athletes. Our discussion of others does not address deontological issues (we should respect our competitors, for instance) or technical issues (how we ensure equality among athletes, for instance). We want to present the following point as our conclusion: "The foundation of sport ethics lies in body-based commonality with others."
