Stoic Fairness in Sport?


I challenge my own blind loyalty and selfish bias in the following way:

Would I be willing to claim that Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" goal in 1986 was quite literally a volleyball play, AND ALSO be willing to agree that Geoff Hurst's goal against Germany in 1966 didn't actually cross the line? That is my own personal test of fairness and decency in sport.
