Scandals caused by sports players frequently occurred in recent years. What especially shocked me is a big scandal caused by two well-known Japanese Badminton top players, Kento Momota and Kennichi Tago, who gambled in illegal gambling casino. In my view, the most important matter in this scandal is that they lacked not only the humanity and the sociality as good citizenship, but also the sportsmanship as top athletes. Therefore, it should be strongly required for all coaches as well as players to recognize the meaning of sportsmanship and reaffirm determination not to give rise to such a scandal. Moreover, I would like to insist that real sportsmanship absolutely include the spirit of 'Kyo-sei' , which means the friendly and fair coexistence.
