AB - Why is the ethics of tolerance needed? From the major premise of human dignity and freedom, the prevalence of intolerance in reality may be attributed to insensitivity about morality or absence of faith. In fact, we all want to make our society more cultured and sophisticated. If our sports culture is trapped in chronic authoritarianism or nepotism and keeps adhering to commercialism grounded on mammonism, it would be very difficult to make it sound. Therefore, in our sports culture, too, we should spread the ethics of tolerance while reducing intolerance as much as possible. In consideration of the reality, of course, Tolerance is associated with ethical attitudes to determine how to react to another person’s behavior; therefore, it is ethical virtue positively related to the task of suppressing desire. To practice tolerance, ethical autonomy is prerequisite, and tolerance without autonomy is meaningless since it cannot obtain legitimacy for practice. Considering the particular condition of sports, tolerance is not what forces one to choose yes or no but a positive attitude that comes after negation. In brief, ethics of tolerance is even more noteworthy because of the positive attitude to let others secure their rights and freedom more while extending one’s own rights and autonomy as well. Phenomena that are prevalent all over our society, for example, indiscreet consciousness about injustice, regionalism equipped with no fairness, or division between progressives and conservatives where there are no beliefs or theories are what we have to overcome aggressively through the virtue and ethics of tolerance.
