On November 29th, the two most popular soccer teams in Spanish league, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, had their first match in this year. The result was 5-0 win by Barcelona; however when the match was almost ended, a defensive player Sergio Ramos kicked an opponent player on purpose. Eventually he got a red card, but he didn’t stop his violence, which he stroke two more players while he was exiting the field.
While I was watching the news and reading the articles about the incident, I questioned the sportsmanship that needs to be considered during the competition. I understand that players get mad when they are losing the game badly, but I think Ramos had absolutely crossed the line. He should be condemned not only for the dangerous tackle that he had committed but for the unnecessary violence. Will the result of the game change for being violent player? Will the team benefit from those behaviors? I think Sergio Ramos’ behaviors have outcome disgraceful image of the team. Can the violence in sport justified by expressing anger? Can’t the two teams just end the game congratulating and encouraging each other?
