Sport Self-Governance: Ideological review foundations of the sport community in relation to the state.

Abstract

This article is a contribution to the explanation of the hegemonic sports discourse as an external reality of politics and the State. To do so, the philosophical, ethical and historical principles are expounded, which propose the existence of internal goods in the practice of sport, enunciating sporting objectives as a political translation. Firstly, an explanation of the basic principles of Broad Internalism is given, whose task is the essential definition of sport, which is found in its exposition of moral and physical excellence in terms of Aristotelian virtuosity. Furthermore, it chooses to relate the principles of modern sportsmanship to Thomas Arnold, Aristotelian Christianity in order to establish the basis of sporting moral internal goods. Finally, the political and legal fit of sport and its connection to the approaches described above is presented.
