THW replay international sporting events if an extreme umpiring error affects the result.

Good day, everyone. In the light of such incidents as that of Thiery Henry's hand-assistance for the winning goal against Ireland, I as the AFF side, strongly believe that international sporting events in which an extreme error, one that affects the result happens, should be replayed. I am going to show you why through my 4 arguments: 1.Destroying the ethics of sports 2.Effects on the popularity of sports 3.Hatred, and its escalation into Violence 4.Hurting the moral of younger generations By not reacting to a vital error, we are single-handedly destroying 3 fundamental ethical elements of sports - Fair Play, Sportsmanship, and the concept of a "Level playing field" 1."'Fair play' is usually understood to mean using only tactics that are in accord with the spirit of the sport."-http://www.bbc.co.uk...- Therefore, any tactic, strategy or a foul-move that is not only contradictory to the ethics of sports, but also shifts the result of the game, must not go unpunished! There is also a concept of a 'level playing field', underlining the deeper components of fair play: 2."'Level playing field' is a situation in which competitors are required to follow the same rules and are given an equal ability to compete. This means that no matter what the rules are, as long as they are applied equally and impartially the playing field is still level"-http://www.bbc.co.uk...- So, obviously, the rules aren't the same for both sides anymore! Because, under the rules, the side that cheated shouldn't be allowed to win! And lastly, we are destroyng the concept of sportsmanship: 3."Sportsmanship is conformance to the rules, spirit, and etiquette of sport. More grandly, it may be considered the ethos of sport"-http://en.wikipedia.org...- Cheating team is not conforming to the rules and ethics, and even awarded for it by letting them win. There are 2 reasons why we must react to the violation of moral of sports: 1. If we let this go unpunished, players will know that such tactics can be used again, with no harm to either a player or their team, therefore motivating him to further break the rules to his benefit. 2. This will lead to further decrease in moral and ethics in sports, as teams will see that being ethical and fair on the field does not guarantee victory any more, where immorality does. So there will be many more attempts of unethical behaviour, with the primary concern just being- staying out of the judges sight while doing it. Now, let me move on to my second argument. 2. So let's say a team has been training for years, rigorously following their coach's advices and critiques, they worked hard, they were disciplined and didn't let the fans down. So, being loyal and excited, fans followed their every game, came to the home-games, cheered with their mates in a pub for away-games. They lived and breathed every moment with them, know just how many saves the goalie averages, how many yellow card #11 got in the last year and a half. All that cool statistics. Now, as result of their great play- the team qualified for, for example- The World Cup (Sorry, Ireland:) Fans are extatic. They kept playing well and made it to the quarterfinals. For arguments sake, their opponent in this game is France :) So this team plays great. They score! And in the 95th minute, Henry is in offside, or assists by hand, and it's 1-1. The penalties declare France a winner. Not only will the fans be dissapointed (and enraged, which will be my third argument), they will lose faith and trust in soccer. They paid thousand of dollars to come and cheer for their team and now, due to an UNFAIR play, they lost. Not only will they: 1. Never come to the events of such again, therefore impacting SPORT TOURISM- 2. They will also stop rooting for their team, as they see no point in following sport events due to injustice made. So they turn off their tv's, cancel their plane tickets for the next Cup, and all around, the sport suffers. Popularity of sport will stumble down, not only affecting the fans of the team that lost that way, but also affecting EVERYONE that believed in sportsmanship, fair play, and just all around justice in sports. Now lets link this with my third argument: 3.Their team lost because of an error. At first, they will be dissapointed. But then, they will be ENRAGED. And when they go out on the streets after the game, and see the opposing team's fans cheering and feeling happy because of the win, this is where the real practical consenquences of unfair-play will occur. At first, they may engage in a verbal argument. But when you have hundreds of drunk and angry fans in one place, wanting justice for their team, they will TAKE JUSTICE IN THEIR HANDS! And since they can't alter the result, they will at least show the opposing fans what they really think about their team's win. This may not only lead to vandalism and material damage, but can also be life threatening! We must not let this happen. If there is a way to SAVE LIVES and stop the city from being torn down, we must act!! And yes, this may even affect the completely innocent, French tourists that may not even be interested in sports- coming to Ireland. I would stay away from the pubs, if i were you. And, #4- This will affect the moral and ethics of a whole generation. Media has a powerfull efect on children. Just imagine a 12 year old watching his favourite team losing because the opposing team disobeyed the rules. Even worse-their team won by cheating! This will send the message to the children that all those rules, laws, and the morale we try to implement in them don't really matter much in life. It shows that you can actually get ahead if you don't obey them. Even get awarded for it. Children repeat what they see. So they will cheat on exams and lie to their parents, because that's how France got into World Cup. That would be all for the first round. I look forward to hearing the other side and engaging in a great debate.
