Pentru un sport curat, fără violență
For clean, violence-free sports

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the phenomenon of violence in sports, in relation to both sportsmen and spectators in terms of the respect owed to human dignity, the right to life and health. Following an incursion in the history of sports, with particular emphasis on the violent behaviour in ancient Greece and Rome, the author analyzes the phenomenon of violence in contemporary world, with edifying examples, its manifestations, social and psychological causes, and its ill-fated results. At the same time, he pleads for the prevention of violence through education in the spirit of fair-play and points out the responsibility incumbent on coaches, the domestic and international clubs and federations, and the media. In order to fight against violence measures are needed to sanction those guilty and responsible, while in the case of violent attitudes of supporters, a phenomenon undergoing a worrying escalation, there should be a set of measures, both legal and police-related and technical.
