Every game requires dishonesty. You may object to that. But if a game is to be won, you are going to have to fool your opponent in some way in order to get a decisive advantage.
In the Art of War, by Sun Tsu, he says the same thing about warfare--- it is all about deception.
On the other hand: "If you have to fight, by all means fight" said Gandhi.
Why fight when there are other options? What are you fighting for? For advantages or for justice?
I suspect that the typical contest in this culture is to get an advantage. We may love the contest and play to win, but let's not kid ourselves. Saying that you are for justice only makes something appear better and nobler than what it really is.
