The PRIZE for ETHICS and FAIR-PLAY from CROS CÔTE D’AZUR (2011 Promotion)
Why an Ethics Prize?
UNESCO defines fair-play as follows: “Fair-play means much more than just adhering to the rules; it encompasses the notions of friendship, respect for others, and sportsmanship. It is a way of thinking, not merely a behavior.”
Fair-play can be summarized as loyalty in sport, a physical activity performed as a game for purposes of humanism and therefore education.
The Ethics and Fair-Play Prize of CROS Côte d’Azur recognizes those who have practiced these notions, worked to promote them, or accomplished a significant act of sports ethics during the year 2011. This prize concerns practitioners, of course, but also leaders, coaches, referees, or associations for their action in favor of sports ethics.
Laureates:
– Mr. Pascal BELLIN, Basketball
– Mr. Sylvain LEFEVRE, Athletics
– Mr. Antoine MANASSERO, CDOS 06
– Mr. Rocco ROMANO, Karate
– Mr. Jean-Louis VISCIONE, Karate
