Explanation:

In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game”, General Zaroff organizes a hunting game in which he hunts people that came into his Ship-Trap.

When Sanger Rainsford falls into the trap and is forced to participate in the game, he asks what happens if he refuses. General tells him that he gives the option, but that consequences would be to be turned over to Ivan, a Russian who was working for Czar and punishing criminals. This means Ivan would torture anyone who refuses to participate.

General said Ivan has “his own ideas of sport”, meaning he finds cruelty and punishing to be fun, and enjoys them. Because of the inevitability of pain and suffering, people always chose the game, hoping they will have more chance of freedom and survival.
