The relations between C.S. Peirce's pragmatism and his semeiotica are the basis of applying pragmatic doctrine in the study of the philosophy of sport. In the late period of the development of pragmatism, Pierce emphasized the role emotional- energetic signs-interpretants. They were the necessary stages to proceed conceptual, intellectual interpretation. The process of establishing the meaning (interpretation) of signs requires emotional and energetic activity, even in the course of solving theoretical problems. Peirce clearly emphasized that pragmatism wasn't a theory of truth. It means that pragmatism finds its application not only in theoretical examinations which aim at determining scientific truth, but also in every activity which assumes sign processes. Sport in this respect is particularly interesting, since it is a formal sign-system which is being filled with meaning in specific cultural semiosis, that is sports events, which are important on account of the continuity of earlier and later interpretations.
