why do people cheat in sports just to win?

its sad, i know, but they do it because they have the urge to be the greatest. and they dont care about having the feeling of a hard earned victory. they just want to make it to the top no matter what. Barry Bonds made it to the top, but now he lost his respect. so cheating might give you the records, but no one likes a cheater.

The biggest reason is cheating.

Not that I advocate cheating, but maybe they don't know they are going to cheat. If they do know, they have a problem with domination and you don't need them anyway.

Most men enjoy cheating...they enjoy the thrill. As well as they may still like the girl that they are with but want another girl as well. Instead of leaving the girl they hope that the girl they are cheating on is a forgiving one as some girls are. That way they get the best of both worlds.

Mankind's REAL Obsession is what they do with the ball.  I want to be better than I was last season, playing this game.  I want to score more, play more, Start, Win... Now this is FUN.\n\nCompetition; I can hit the ball harder, further, longer, etc.  I want to win, I play to win, I hate to lose, if I lose, I learn from it & work harder to not let it happen again.  To play is FUN, to win is FUNNNNEERR.\n\nBalls also make exercising more enjoyable.

i see your point..i agree maybe they are just trying everything to win the game..and there's no problem with that..but playing it dirty doesn't make it right..that's why ppl call it cheating..it's morally wrong..and it's unfair to the other team..

If they cheat then that's sad they are not good enough to make it to the NFL so they cheat. I think that they should give them a years suspension the first time. The second they should suspend them for life.\nMost likely steroids but it could be drugs such as Marijuana, or X.

it happens. many teams already know there's no chance at all for them to qualify so when they're playing against one that has a chance and needs few points to, they take a bribe to lose the game for that team!

the reasons are many. none of them are good. I think that for the most part there is a common denominator for why they lie, cheat and steal, etc. I believe they do it in an effort to gain something for nothing.

You answered you own question. People say it because it is truee. It's tru because the cheater gets away with it so why stop having your cake and eating it to

I'm assuming you mean why do CHEATING golfers cheat...not many I know do.\n\nThose that do seem to have self-esteem problems.  They somehow see the golf score as a reflection of their self worth.

Players used to over-act for two reasons\n\n1. To get the opponent yellow carded: After receiving 2 yellow cards, the next offense by the same player gets a red card which means that the said player cannot play for 2 matches. A very handy way to get rid of the top players on your opponents team.\n\n2. To waste time: This is especially good when your team is leading by a very slim goal difference and it is getting to the end of play. The more play is interrupted, the more your opponents lose their momentum & the better your chance of winning the match.\n\nFIFA decided that they would put their foot down and show that they were taking this seriously. By dishing out yellow/red cards, they ensure that malingerers are kept to a minimum and only genuine injuries are treated as the players will not want to be the ones sent off!!!

The ultimate goal of any professional sport is to out play one's opponents and rise above them to become a champion in that field. Competition is the driving force in all sports, by definition of the very word. "Sport" is defined as "physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively", by the American Heritage dictionary.\n\nOften when we hear cliché phrases such as "it doesn't matter if you win or lose; it's how you play the game", it's a way of consoling school-aged children after tough losses, where sports are primarily used as a way to build character and integrity and winning is secondary.

I think most of them play for the love of the sport.\n\nYou can't be a good sportsperson if you do not have the passion.\n\nThe money side is a bonus to them.\n\nI know a couple of sportspeople, who make a lot of money\n\nBUT they are excellent at what they do and they also have a passion for it.\n\nOnce they lose the passion, they no longer play well, because they need to play from the heart.\n\nI hope this helps.
