Online Harassment by Health Professional Sparks Debate on Sports Ethics
A recent online incident has sparked discussion regarding professional conduct and the ethics within the sports community. Cèlia Espanya, a social media user, publicly shared her experience of receiving derogatory messages about her running pace from an individual identifying as a health professional. The messages, sent in response to her personal running posts, criticized her "rhythm of merda" (shitty pace). Upon investigating the sender's profile, Ms. Espanya discovered he holds a degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences and a master's in teaching. This revelation prompted her to question the responsibility of health professionals to uphold ethical standards, especially when interacting with the public online. "For me, it is a danger that a health professional does this," Ms. Espanya stated in her video. She further elaborated on the increasing competitiveness in sports, where individuals often compare themselves based on results and numbers. Ms. Espanya argued that if people couldn't display their running metrics, they might run for enjoyment rather than external validation. "It's very dangerous to feel validated by this," she warned. She emphasized that the core purpose of sports should be personal well-being and enjoyment, not competition or the pursuit of fast times at the expense of health. "I prefer to run slowly than not have my period, not have health, and get injured," she concluded, advocating for a healthier, more intrinsically motivated approach to physical activity. The incident highlights a broader conversation about online conduct and the professional obligations of those in health-related fields.
