The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on every aspect of our social, cultural, and commercial lives, including the world of sport. Philosophy, Sport, and the Pandemic, edited by Jeffrey P. Fry and Andrew Edgar (Routledge), examines the ethical and philosophical dimensions of the intersection of COVID-19 and sport. Shawn Klein finds some really good contributions, but also chapters that are repetitive, or not sufficiently philosophical, or where the Covid relevance is tenuous. Recommendable, thus, but with qualifications.

Does a technological solution to one issue in sport inevitably lead to a ‘revenge effect’ whereby another problem is created as a consequence? Is the research that drives changes to sport based upon reasonable scientific assumptions?
