The theory of sports justification is just argumentation carried out at the illegality level, helpless for the study of obstacles to the responsibil-ity of unlawful infringement behaviors, while the responsibility evaluation and social ethic explanation functions of the theory of social equivalence make it become the top choice for studying obstacles to responsibility. Different from tra-ditional obstacles to responsibility, social equivalence does not base the criterion on behaviors, but bases the foundation on behavioral particularity, reflects people’s law emotions and conceptions, and embodies the sports industry’s appeal for counteracting criminal justice’s over protection. However, defects such as ambiguous and variable decide that if this theory is to be actually applied, it must be strictly restricted by scope and condition during abstractive interpretation, or restricted by such 4 dimensions as type, inevitability, ethicality and region during specific identification.
