two decades from the 1980s to 2001. In 2000, the National Football League began seeking out potential replacements for their official provider of headwear and began accepting manufacturers’ bids for a licensing agreement. Once the NFL’s contract with American Needle eventually expired in March 2001 and was not renewed. The NFL went with Reebok as its new licensee of their headgear. This is where the legal issue comes into play. On December 1, 2004, American Needle brought the present action against the New Orleans Saints asserting that the Sherman Antitrust Act was violated and American Needle alleged that the defendants’ exclusive arrangement with Reebok constitutes a restraint of trade under the per se rule and the rule of reason, in violation of section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act which states “Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among several States, or with foreign nations, is hereby declared to be illegal. Every person who shall make any contract or engage in any…
Americans to this day will never act or feel the same way as they once used to. What we did then and how we did it, we can no longer do now. It has been over twelve years since the United States went through one of the most horrific, terrifying tragedies in all of United States history. As we all know today, on September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four passenger airliners so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes were intentionally crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. For this reason, there has been an enormous amount of changes in the United States. The three major areas that have changed are the airport security, the government, and the psychological impact.…
On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists executed attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. killing nearly 3,000 people. Later that day, President George W. Bush released a statement to the public describing the acts that occurred, the steps that were being taken to return communities to peace, and the steps the government was taking to retaliate against the people that committed this heinous act. President Bush explained the horrifying events, and then reassured the public that his administration would be unfazed by the attempt to disrupt the American way of life. Although this event was not something that he or the American people would soon forget, he stressed the importance of remaining positive…
I realize that it is opposite of the manner in which this school had begun, but it seems as though we have little choice. We already have a faculty unit that is looking to form a union due to the budget crisis, we should probably consider coming back to them with a better long-term plan in place.…
The events that took place on September 11th 2001 showed America that we need to expect the unexpected and prepare for the future. On this day, 19 terrorists from a group called al-Qaeda hijacked 4 commercial passenger planes. Two of them were crashed into the Twin Towers of New York City’s World Trade Center. The third plane was crashed into The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane they say was intended to be crashed into the White House itself, but the plane landed in Pennsylvania instead. Following 9/11, the U.S. government took many steps to try to make the country safer, such as heightened airport security, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Patriot Act.…
It was just over fifteen years ago, when the United States (US) experienced one of the most horrific terrorists’ attacks ever carried out. The events of September 11th, 2001, saw two planes fly into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, one plane fly into the Pentagon, and another plane headed for the White House which was thwarted by the heroic efforts of the passengers on board. The events of this day brought the US to its knees, with massive loss of life, property, wealth, and sense of security. The US was crippled with fear, and President George W. Bush had to do something to show the US and the rest of the world that we would not allow terrorism to get the best of us. President Bush announced that…
The 9/11 attacks on American soil resulted in nearly 13,000 casualties. The final toll equaled 2,977 deaths and nearly 10,000 injuries. On that day President Bush, due to security concerns, spent the day being shuttled around the nation. That evening, he addressed the citizens of the nation. President Bush’s address to the nation that evening encouraged Americans. He let the world know that we would not be stopped, but that the terrorists would be. Bush…
To men that expressed their concerns on ending slavery so differently was that of Thomas Jefferson who was a master of writing that let his pen make his arguments and Fredrick Douglas on his powerful delivery of speeches. Thomas Jefferson was born on a plantation that his father owns and used slaves for labor. Jefferson father wasn't well educated made sure that his children were provided tutoring early in life. Jefferson was an introvert, shy someone who would rather study than spend time with his friends. Jefferson was always against slavery, he wrote that maintaining slavery was like holding "a wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him nor safely let him go."…
The United States encountered the primary demonstration of war on American soil that took a huge number of blameless regular civilian lives 14 years ago in 2001. Since then, America has lived in fear and made compensations to guarantee the wellbeing of this generation and the following. Although, many people are still uninformed of the price that the Americans have paid to do as such thing. Many of these people are also clueless of what might have happened to pushed such individuals to do something as horrible as the 9/11 attacks. As George Santayana once said “ Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” To truly shield this country from another occasion such as the 9/11 attacks,…
The fourteenth amendment was written in 1868 but it is still relevant today. The amendment states , “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens,” using the restroom is a pretty basic privilege. Forcing people to use the bathroom of the sex they were assigned at birth would be going against this amendment. Trans people would be endangered by using the bathroom of their sex they were assigned at birth. If a man of trans experience walked into a woman's restroom all of the women would react negatively just like if a woman of trans experience walked into a men's bathroom.The argument against this is that there would be an increase of rape. If someone is insane enough to rape someone I highly doubt that a little sign on a door is going to stop them. Everyone thinks that their children are going to be molested if people are allowed to use the restroom of the gender they identify with mostly because of people pretending to be trans, but honestly, there is a possibility of children being molested anywhere.…
The state of our country, the safety we have come to know as an ingrained American feeling is now gone. The terrifying events that brought down the towers of the World Trade Center, killing thousands of innocent people on September 11, 2001, is a day that will forever be remembered in our history. The hijacking of planes by the acts of terrorist forever changed airport security, the view of turban-wearing Sikhs forever changed how most Americans view them, the fighting of a war in the Middle East for more than a decade, all are changes that we faced and are still facing due to the violent mastermind of Osama Bin Laden. That Tuesday morning, which started off like any other day, leaves us with many lingering questions, many children who at that time were children and are now young adults, some without one are both parents, a day that stripped Americans of their sense of safety and security.…
According to the article” The Statue of Liberty ” The author gives us a brief of The Statue of Liberty history. First of all, France gives it to American. It was like an entrance for immigrants. Also, It is an important symbol of freedom. In addition, every part in it represent thing. It really had a lot of meaning. The Statue of Liberty closed for eight years because it was too old and some parts needed rebuilding.…
According to Bustle, article written by Madhuri Sathish, “A 2016 report from the South Poverty Law Center identified 718 Confederate monuments and statues scattered across the country, but today there are possibly up to 1,000, according to USA Today, at least 60 Confederate symbols have been removed today”, but that’s not even counting the recent removals we’ve had. Today we live in a world that has multiple perspectives on how things have turned out and why. One of the most debatable topics are the removal of the confederate monuments. People think that having these monuments are a sign of slavery, racism and hatred. Others, like myself, believe the monuments are a part of history, a remembrance of those who died, and are a reminder that this…
Every time I read these words, they resonate with me more and more. The Statue of Liberty is the single most iconic symbol of everything America stands for, and has stood for, over the last 240 years, and while its structure still holds, its sheen is gone. It’s rusted, cracks and crevices forming in its construction. The freedoms our forefathers fought for in the days when America was still a fledgling experiment are just as important today as they were in 1776, yet they’re often pushed aside. They’re broken down, corroded and chipped.…
When the Constitution was written, it was not the intent of the authors to assure human rights to its citizenry, it was written in order to set up a federal government that would allow the United States to be a self-governing entity, and to put in place a system of government that would serve the citizens of the country in the way that they saw fit. After the ratification of the Constitution in 1787, “people soon began to notice that it did not list many of the personal liberties (individual rights) that they had come to believe were theirs.”(Cullop, 1999) At the behest of some states the first ten amendments were added to the Constitution that protected the personal rights of the citizens called the…
