WhenitcomestotheUnitedKingdom,PeoplewillalwaysthinkoftheBritishgentlemenwithtraditionalhatandcane.Infact,sportsareastraditionalasgentlemeninBritain.TheUnitedKingdom,atraditionalandstrongcountrynotonlyintheareaofindustryandcomprehensivenationalstrength,butalsointheareaofsports,hasalonghistoryforplayingsports.AlotofmajorsportsoriginatedintheUK,includingassociationfootball,golf,tennis,boxing,rugbyleague,rugbyunion,cricket,fieldhockey,snooker,billiards,squash,curlingandbadminton,allofwhicharepopularinBritain.Eventhetabletennisandbaseball,theChineseandAmericannationalsports,originatedfromBritain.NowBritishsportsnotonlyaffectthesocialcontextathome,butalsohaveagreatimpactoutsidehome.WeevencanregardthesportsasareflectionofBritishculture.Let’sknowaboutBritainfromitssportsculture.
1.VariousimportantsportsoriginatingintheUK
1.1Associationfootball.
Associationfootball,morecommonlyknownasfootballorsoccer,isaveryimportantsportoriginatedinhistraditionalhome—Englandinthe19thcentury.ThelawsofthegamewereoriginallycodifiedinEnglandbytheFootballAssociationin1863andhaveevolvedsincethen.TheUKhastheoldestfootballleagueintheworld.TheEnglishPremierLeagueisthemost-watchedfootballleagueintheworldanditsbiggestclubsincludeManchesterUnited,Liverpool,ArsenalandChelsea.Nowfootballhasbeenthemostfamoussportinternationallythroughhundredsofyears’developing.NowAssociationfootballisgovernedinternationallybyFIFA(FederationInternationalFootballAssociation),whichorganizestheFIFAWorldCupeveryfouryears.
Actually,footballcanreflecttheBritishculturecompletely.Beckham,thefamousformerfootballstarofBritain,hassaid:
“Footballhasbeenassociatedwithourcountry’scultureandexistedinourDNA.Sincewewereborntotheworld,footballhasbeenaccompanyingwithusandneverseparatedwithus.”Fromtheseworlds,wecanreadthecloserelationshipbetweenfootballandcultureintheUK.Themosttypicalculturereflectedinfootballisthegentilityculture.Insomesportreportsinthe19thcentury,Britishfootballplayersarecalled“Mr.”allthetime.Anotheraspectofculturereflectedintheconsciousnessofnation.Asweknow,BritaintakesfourpositionsintheFIFA—theycantakeoutfourteamstotakepartintheWorldCup.ThisreflectstheleadingpositionoftheGreatBritaininthe20thcenturywhileitreflectsthattheUKconsistsoffourparts—England,Scotland,Wales,andNorthIreland.Asaresult,untiltoday,FootballinBritainisrenownedfortheintenserivalriesbetweenclubsandthepassionofthesupporters.WhenwewatchafootballgameofateamfromBritain,itwillbemoreattractiveifwehaveknownaboutthefootballcultureoftheUK.

2.TheeducationofsportsintheUK
Withsodistinctivesportsculture,theeducationofsportsinBritainmustbepaidmuchattentionto.Withthedevelopingconceptofeducationtosports,Britishpeoplehaveformedanintegratedsystemaboutphysicaleducation.TherearemanydifferencesaboutthephysicaleducationbetweenChinaandtheUK.Ithinkitdependsonthedifferentsportsculturesandthedegreeofimportanceispaidtothephysicaleducation.
SincelongtimeagoinChina,thefieldofPEwasboundedtothetraditionalconceptofeducation.Inphysicaleducation,children’sbasicknowledgeandskillswerepaidmoreimportancetowhilethepersonalvalueandpersonaldevelopmentwereignored.Atthesametime,students’creationonsportswasignored,asaresultofwhich,students’interestsandhobbiescouldnotgrow.InmodernChina,PEclassesarealsotreatedasasecondarycourseallthetimeandthereneverbeanexaminationonPEclassbeforethecollegeeducation.Evenincollege,thePEclassesarealsonotpaidenoughattention.Ontheotherhand,becauseofthelowattentionofthePEeducation,studentshaveformedtheconceptthataPEclassisnotimportant.Thentheresultisthatgenerallythephysicaleducationisinalowlevelcomparedwithothercountries.IntheUK,thingsaredifferent.Enoughimportanceispaidtophysicaleducation.
TheimportantfactinBritainisthatthePEcourseisattributedtothe“corecourses”intheBritisheducationalsyllabus,itmeansthatthepositionofPEcourseisasimportantasthemajorcoursesinanystageofteens’education.Secondly,thestandardtothefinalscoresdoesnotjustdependonthefinalexams,anditconsistsoftwoparts,theordinaryscoreandthefinalscore.ThisstandardjustappearsincollegeeducationinChina.Thirdly,inBritain,PEcoursesarevarious,notonlyincollege,butalsoinanystageofteens’education.ThereisafactaboutBritishPEcourse:

Inaword,thePEeducationinBritainissuccessfulenough.Asaresultofthiskindofsuccessfulmodelofphysicaleducation,lotsoffamoussportseventsandadventurouspeopleappearinBritain.Thesportsculturesarealsoreflectedfromtheeducationonsports.WecanfeeltheeffortsBritishpeopledidonsportseducation.Theyrealizedthatbeforeitbecomesarealstrongcountry,itshouldbecomeastrongcountryinsports.Andtheeducationaboutsportscandirectlyaffecttheattitudeteensholdtothesportsandthenaffectthefutureofsports.
3.TheOlympicGamesandthesportscultureofBritain.
Asacountryfromwhichmanysportsoriginated,BritainisalsoconnectedcloselywiththeOlympicGames.IftheWorldWarIIhadn’thappened,LondonwouldhavebeenthefirstcitythathasthreeexperiencesofholdingtheOlympicGamesinthehistory.However,Londonrealizedherdreamin2012,holdingtheOlympicGamesthirdly.EventhoughintherecentseveralOlympics,theUKdidnotwinsomanygoldmedals,theinfluencesBritishsportsmadetotheworldaregreatandthepositionofBritishsportsishighintheworld.BritainisalsooneofthecountrieswhichfirstlyhadthetraditionoftheOlympics.BritainhasattendedallthesummerOlympicGamesandgotexcellentgrades.AbouttheexcellentsportscultureofBritainandtheOlympicGames,thereisasimplestory.
AswhatIhavementioned,beforethemodernOlympicGameswereheld,thesportsinBritainhadbeenveryadvanced.ThiscausedenoughattentionofCoubertin,thefatherofmodernOlympicGames,toBritishsports.Asaresult,CoubertinpayvisitstoBritainforfourtimes.HefoundthatthestudentsinOxfordandCambridgeUniversitywerenearlyallstrong,energeticandingoodgrooming,andthecollegeswereallstricttostudents’sportsskills.ThisgaveCoubertinlotsofinspiration.OntheinitiativeofCoubertin,thesportsinFrenchschoolsbecamemoreandmorepositive.What’smore,CoubertinputhisinspirationfromBritishsportscultureintothebuildingofthemodernOlympicGames,whichmadegreatcontributionstotheimprovementofOlympics.
Thesportslevelofacountrydoesn’tdependontherankingontheOlympiclistorthequantityofmedalsitwins.TheUKdelegationattendedallthesummerOlympicGamesfrom1896andithasevergetthefirstintherankingofmedalsin1908.IntheOlympiccompetitions,Britishdelegationhasmanysuperiortraditionalevents,includingTrackandField,badminton,shooting,box,jujitsu,rowing,sailing,kayak,bicycle,horsemanship,ModernPentathlon,andespeciallyfootball.
