Is the kind of particular commitment created by inter-national sport morally acceptable or not? Two groups of scholars already investigated the relationship between sport and nationalism. Their conclusions clash, as the one argues that nationalism and sport are complementary, whereas the other group argues for the abolishment of inter-national sport. However, the subject of particular commitment with regard to inter-national should not be discussed in relation to nationalism, but in relation to patriotism. When looking at the arguments made by the two groups of scholars from this point of view, their arguments can actually be brought into accordance with one another.
