The modern sport is rooted into and proceed from the need to bind our societies and to
achieve peace for the world. The International Olympic Committee established as main
goal “to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, the educational value of good
example, social responsibility and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles”.
Moreover, the Olympic Charter refuse “any kind, such as race, colour, sex, sexual orientation,
language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property,
birth or other status”. The values spread by the Olympic movement through the sport activity and the competition
are definitely in line with the constitutional principles. However , the mass media
have not been able to take proper advantage from sport as powerful tool of socialization
and they have instead commercialized the sports news and events at any price, above
all, in the football sector.
The big sports media style and principles’ guidelines claim that it is essential to foster
the sport’s values , but actually what happens for real is another story. Insidious opinion
columns, trivial polemics and news based on gossip are the habits within the sports
journalism nowadays, into which, of the Olympic ideas and aims, just a crumb is left.This work aims to find, within the specific sports journalism sector, and by cases, with
specific regard to football, where the freedom of information and expression has his
own limits, there where other rights rises. In order to proceed, it will be necessary a initial
summary of past and current status of sports journalism, and then to go in depth
with the analyses of representative cases, when the justice had to intervene to establish
whether a subject of the mass media overcame the supposed limits.
