WE WANT PEACE IN SPORT!

To keep conflict under wraps in sport you need an umpire. CONFLICT in sports occur frequently because of the pressure of competition. It can transpire any time before, during, or after competition when athletes are most stressed or excited. Such conflicts are amplified in expression and feeling due to the athletes' strong need and desire to win. Athletes may spend 15-20 years training (e.g. to compete and win in the Olympic Games), but if 3 months before the competition they get involved in a serious conflict, it can destroy all their hard work and effort put forth preparing for a major event. Conflict may even cause athletes to withdraw from competition. Seemingly trivial incidents can become very crucial when maximum performance and results are called for. Conflict often occurs because both parties do not understand each other's characters. Take the example of a coach and athlete, both with low tolerance. Because of their tolerance level each will initially approach any situation with a negative or opposing attitude. There are documented cases where an athlete on the same performance level as another athlete and representing the same country tried to sabotage the success of the other team.On 5 June 2004, an AFL match between Hawthorn and Essendon degenerated into a bench-clearing brawl that ultimately led to the suspension of five players for a total of 15 matches and fines of over $70,000.
