Exercise 8.2 - Solution

Sample answers (any two of the four).

Refereeing and scoring: a referee's call goes against one team and viewers in that country read it as bias, because any contest with judges produces such complaints.
Home advantage: a game staged in the host country's town has a home crowd and local knowledge of the surroundings, which can help the local side.
Team selection: one country fields trained athletes while another sends ordinary volunteers, so the contest feels unequal.
Taste and tone: a game or commentary is judged crude, patronising or offensive to a nation or group.
