Corruption as a sport

Something new, similar to American football or baseball, should arise in our talent-rich spaces. Two competing teams of different game styles, such as corruption fighters and their counterparts - the corrupt.

The rules for the format of the game and the cultivation of the institution of corruption must be worked out in detail and agreed upon by the relevant sports committee, and this especially applies to the party of fighters against corruption.

It is clear that, in principle, the transition of players from one role to another is quite flexible, but it should be noted that only sports suffer from this, and especially its spectacularity as the main criterion for the popularity of the sport among citizens.

Roman gladiator fights, in particular, in the context of the Byzantine heritage, are recognized as the main and most profound and fundamental prototype of such a national sport.

So, important criteria for corruptors should be: secrecy, the highest level of flexibility, adaptability, lability and social dexterity, the ability to work under different images and legends, disguise themselves as opponents and infiltrate their ranks. The desire to make a living, the ability to negotiate and the presence of a domestic legal education or criminal experience are the attributes of a successful player.

For wrestlers, the opposite qualities are important according to banal direct logic, but the clash of interests, which is important for intensity, intrigue, drama, quality of the game, must be observed and conditioned by a certain community of values, qualities or worldview criteria.

For example, except for the presence or absence of relatives of fighters - businessmen, civil servants, heads of companies and enterprises, they must not be of respectable age and rank, and do not belong to the "old" school of administration. These should be young people of the new (it) generation, familiar with the principles of transparency, not ostentatious work and ergonomics of new technologies, familiar with the theory of management in a pure market economy, fluent in several foreign languages, independent of foreign grants and financial capital. They must be communicative and sociable specialists who accept several other rules of the game - the rules of "fireplay" or honest competition in the conditions of a clean market.

On the face of it, the emerging acute conflict is generational, "fathers and children", ideological and methodological. However, the formation of anti-corruption forces from among the corrupt bodies by default is a drawback that prevents the development of the sport today. Even if the players play the game according to all the rules, the game loses its completeness due to this factor, which determines the purpose of the sports competition.

The absence of such norms does not allow holding championships and popularizing the sport at the international level, the highest goal of which should be the recognition of the sport as an Olympic sport. Otherwise, what's the point?
