The ethos of the English public schools in large extent
influenced Pierre the Coubertin. The public schools
had a deep involvement by the development of many sports
team, including all codes of the British football as
a cricket and hockey.
The English public schools of the second half of the
19de century had a large influence on many sports. The
schools contributed play a sport at the rules and the
influence of the governing bodies of these outside all
proportion to their size. They sold a subscription on
the old Greek and Roman conviction that sport an important
part of the education, an attitude samengevat in the
said: man sana in corpore sano - a healthy mind in a
healthy body. In this ethos, participate is more important
than win, because the society expected again become
all-rounders and not best in everything. Class prejudices
against the "trade" strengthens this attitude.
The house of the parents of a typical public schoolboy
will not a merchant the entrance, because the merchants
rang as the social right from again. Aside from class
grade crossings was there the typical English notion
"honesty", in which the exercising or training
were considered as down on deception; meant it that
you considered the considerably to win then part to
take. Those who a sport practiced professionals were
considered to see to over a dishonest advantage to respect
of those who practiced the single as a "hobby".
The Internationally Olympic Comite invited to live
a representative of the Headmasters' Conference (the
association of managers of the English public schools)
by their early meetings. The Headmasters' conference
chose the minister Robert Laffan, the manager of Cheltenham
Class, if their representative by the IOC assemblies.
He was a member of the IOC Rewarded in 1897, after the
first visit of the IOC in in 1904, became he the central
at the founders of the British Association of Olympic
a year later on.
In the view of Coubertin, athletes must become again.
Initial were not amateurs only as such; professional
athletes might compete with on the Olympic Games. A
brief exception was made fence for professional instructors.
This exclusion of professionals has causes different
controversies in the entire history of the modern Olympic
Games.
1912 Olympic five camp and decathlon champion, Jim
Thorpe, was disqualified, when one discovered that he
played semi-professional honkbal prior to its medals
to win. He was repaired as a champion on compassionate
grounds through the IOC in 1983. Zwitserse and Austrian
skiërs geboycot the Olympic winter game 1936 in
support of theirs 's ski-teachers, that had not been
allowed to compete with, because they considered became
deserved money with their sport and as professionals.
Gradually became clear that the too much amateurisme
rules had overtaken, not the leastest because the self-financed
amateurs of western countries sleepiness were no party
for the state gesponsorde "full-time" amateurs
"of the eastern bloc-land. Nevertheless, the IOC,
led through president Avery Brundage, held at the rules
with relation till the traditional amateurisme. In the
years 1970, after Brundage links, amateurisme demand
were gone down from the Olympic hand vest, so that decisions
over professional participation at the international
federation for each sport. This switch had been illustrated
perhaps well best by the American Dream Team, put together
of good paid NBA stars, that won the olympic golden
medal in basketbal in 1992. As of 2004, the only play
a sport in which no professionals compete with is box
(although even this is a loose definition of amateurisme,
as some boxers receive money praise of their NOCs);
men in the football (soccer), the number of players
more than 23 year De age is limits until three per team.
Advertisements regulations are field still very strict,
at least on the real playing, although "Official
Olympic Sponsors" rabble. Athletes are alone allowed
round the names of clothing and manufacturers of equipment
on their outfits. The measures of these markers its
limits.
