George Orwell argues in his essay "War Minus Shooting" that competitive sports often stir up strong nationalist passions and feelings of rivalry between nations, rather than promoting goodwill as is often claimed. He believes that international sporting events typically lead to outbursts of hatred between competing countries and their fans. Orwell also views many popular sports like football and boxing as mimicking warfare, with aggressive and violent tendencies aroused in players and spectators alike due to issues of national prestige and pride.

2. WAR MINUS SHOOTING
The Sporting Spirit
George Orwell
Eric Arthur Blair known by his pen
name George Orwell (1903-1950), who
was born in Bengal and educated in
England, is well known for his greatest
novel, ANIMAL FARM, A MASTERLY
POLITICAL SATIRE ON THE
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. His last work.
Nineteen Eighty-four, is a GRIM
FORECAST OF THE FUTURE OF
TOTALITARIANISM, written in the form
of a readable novel.
3. The Sporting Spirit first appeared in the Tribune, in December
1945 and is a refreshingly frank expression of Orwell’s views on
competitive games. You may or may not agree with his views but
the essay is certainly worth reading and talking about.
I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates
goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples
of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they
would have no inclination to meet one another at football or cricket,
they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield. Even if
one didn’t know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic
Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to
orgies of hatred, one could deduce it form general principles.
4. Nearly all the sports practiced nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and
the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village
green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it
is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the
question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger
unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most violent aggressive characters are
aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this.
At the international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant
thing is not the behavior of the player but the attitude of the audiences: and,
behind the audiences, of the nations who work themselves into furies over
these absurd contests, and seriously believe-at any rate for short periods-that
running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.
5. Even a leisurely (easy) game like cricket, demanding grace rather than
strength, can cause much ill-will, as we saw in the controversy over body-
line bowling and over the rough tactics of the Australian team that visited
England in 1921. Football, a game in which everyone gets hurt and every
nation has its own style of play which seems unfair to foreigners, is far
worse. Worst of all is boxing. One of the most horrible sights in the world is
a flight between white and colored boxers before a mixed audience. But a
boxing audience is always disgusting, and the behavior of the women, in
particular, is such that the army, I believe, does not allow them to attend its
contests. At any rate, two or three years ago, when Home Guards and
regular troops were holding a boxing tournament, I was placed on guard at
the door of the hall, with orders to keep the women out.
6. In England, the obsession (passion) with sport is bad enough, but even fiercer
passions are aroused in your countries where games playing and nationalism
are both recent developments. In countries like India or Burma, it is necessary
at football matches to have strong cordons (barriers) of police to keep the
crowd form invading the filed. In Burma, I have seen the supporters of one
side break through the police and disable the goalkeeper of the opposing side
at a critical moment. The first big football match that was played in Spain
about fifteen years ago led to an uncontrollable riot. As soon as strong
feelings of rivalry (conflicts) are aroused, that notion of playing the game
according to the rules always vanishes.
People want to see one side on top and the other side humiliated, and they
forget that victory gained through cheating or through the intervention of the
crowd is meaningless.
7. Even when the spectators (audience) don’t intervene physically they try
to influence the game by cheering their own side and ‘rattling’; opposing
players with boos (taunts) and insults. Serious sport has nothing to do
with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness,
disregard of all rules and aggressive pleasure in witnessing violence: in
other words it is War Minus The Shooting.
8. Instead of blah-blahing (meaningless talk) about a clean healthy rivalry
(competition) on the football field and the great part played by the Olympic Games in
bringing the nations together, it is more useful to inquire how and why this modern
cult (trendy) of sport arose. Most of the games we now play are of ancient origin, but
sport does not seem to have been taken very seriously between Roman times and
the nineteenth century. Even in the English public schools the games cult did not
start till the later parts of the last century. Dr. Arnold, generally regarded as the
founder of the modern public school, looked on games as simply a waste of time.
Then, chiefly in England and the United States, games were built up into a heavily
financed activity, capable of attracting vast crowds and rousing (inspiring) savage
(violent) passions, and the infection spread from country to country. It is the most
violently combative sports, football and boxing, that have spread the widest. There
cannot be much doubt that the whole thing is bound up with the rise of nationalism-
that is, with the lunatic modern habit of identifying oneself with large power units and
seeing everything in terms of competitive prestige.
9. Also, organized games are more likely to flourish in urban communities
where the average human being lives a sedentary or at least a confined life,
and does not get much opportunity for creative labor. In a rustic
community a boy or young man works off a good deal of his surplus
energy by walking, swimming, snowballing, climbing trees, riding horses,
and by various sports involving cruelty to animals, such as fishing, cook-
fighting and ferreting for rats. In a big town one must indulge (spoil) in group
activities if one wants an outlet for one’s physical strength or for one’s
sadistic impulse. Games are taken seriously in London and New York, and
they were taken seriously in Rome and Byzantium: in the Middle Ages they
were played, and probably played with much physical brutality (cruelty), but
they were not mixed up with politics nor a cause of group hatreds
(disgusts).
10. If you wanted to add to the vast found or ill-will (bitterness) existing in the world
at this moment, you could hardly do it better than by a series of football
matches between Jews and Arabs, Germans and Czechs, Indians and British,
Russians and Poels, and Italians and Yugoslavs, each match to be watched by
a mixed audience of 100,000 spectators. I do not, of course, suggest that sport
is one of the main causes of international rivalry; big scale sport is itself I think,
merely another effect of causes that have produced nationalism. Still you do
make things worse by sending forth a team of eleven men, labeled as national
champions, to do battle against some rival team and allowing it to be felt on all
sides that whichever nation is defeated will ‘lose face’.
