John Stuart Mill and the Ends of Sport ABSTRACT: While his own preference may have been for an engaging book over an exciting ballgame, John Stuart Mill’s distinction in Utilitarianism between higher and lower pleasures offers a useful framework for thinking about contemporary sport. This first became apparent while teaching Utilitarianism to undergraduates, whose interest is often piqued by using Mill’s distinction to rank popular sports such as baseball, football and basketball. This paper

As between his own happiness and that of others, utilitarianism

but rather art for the sake of power and dynasty.

Nowhere is this more discernible than in the Tudor court image of Elizabeth where she rejects the appearance
