Today's topic about different approaches when dealing with an ethical dilemma is very helpful. Especially, we need to have different perspectives and approaches when we discuss ethical issues in modern sports.
I think they are all great approaches, but my favorite (or must used approach) is The Fairness or Justice Approach which states that all equals should be treated equally. I like this approach because it basically implies that all humans should be treated equally. In history, many of the ethical problems and consequences have occurred because some people treat other unequally such as in slavery.
In this approach, benefits and burdens may be distributed based on what a person needs, deserves, contributes, etc., or may be distributed equally to all.
The principle states: "In distributing benefits and burdens, treat people the same unless there are morally relevant differences between them." http://www.ee.scu.edu/eefac/healy/approach.html
I agree that making a good ethical decision takes time because we got to figure out the ethical problem, the values at stake, the people involved, and reflect on the issue in order to act (decision).
