    Honestly, I like to think of baseball as an indefinite chess match, and you can sit there and try to take pieces early in the game or you can let your master plan kind of evolve and if you go out and get these big name pitcher and hitters who are 28-29 in the prime of their career and give them these 7-8 year contracts worth 200 million dollars. Well in that fifth, sixth, seventh year. They start breaking down and you’re paying them 20-30 million dollars a year and you can’t put enough good pieces around a single player to make up for…

    After watching ESPN’s 30 for 30, Broke, my mind starting pondering this question of why and how so many professional athletes are blowing through the millions they make while playing their specific sport? It is amazing that someone can spend that much money so quickly. What are they buying and who are they buying things for? Where are they spending it? Where do they go wrong? When did this trend start and will it continue in the future? What are the league officials doing in order to prevent this tragedy from happening? These are some of the questions I will try to answer throughout this paper.…

    Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator, and physician James Naismith. Naismith introduced the game when we were an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his superior, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, he organized a vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game involved elements of American football, soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was a soccer ball. Teams had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the walls. By 1897-1898, teams of five became standard. The game rapidly spread nationwide and to Canada and other parts of the world, played by both women and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game. U.S. servicemen in World War II (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries.…

    $53.4 Million the combined salary of the top 15 paid coaches in division 1 college football, $0 the combined salary of all student-athletes. Over the past few decades, college athletics have gained popularity across the United States. Whether it is football, basketball, or baseball, ever since the turn of the century, intercollegiate sports have brought in a surplus of revenue to their respective Universities. A recent study found that the University of Texas’ Athletic Program had the highest revenue of any other University at a little over $120 million. Yet with this large sum of money, NO college athletes are legally compensated for their work. According to NCAA rules, “You are not eligible for participation in a sport if you have ever: Taken pay or the promise of pay, for competing in that sport”. While it may seem odd and unjust to pay college athletes, the reality is that compensation of such athletes is a necessity not only to keep competition at a steady level in college athletics, but also to encourage students to graduate and get their college degrees.…

    Few sports have had the social impact that baseball has had over the years. Baseball has long been the all-American pastime. Baseball parks in most major cities across the U.S. attract families including children with dreams of becoming a baseball player. Although ballpark attendance is near 75 million, the cost to operate a major league team is substantial. Salaries alone for 2005 were over 2 billion (University of Phoenix, 2004). This number has increased nearly five-fold over the previous 10 years (USA Today, 2008). People pay to see the best athletes in all sports, not just baseball. Baseball owners analyze data to determine if paying their players higher salaries will pay off by increasing the attendance in ballparks. The data collected in the Major League Baseball Data set is typical data which owners will analyze to determine if paying higher salaries will increase overall profitability.…

    For the past 7 years high school basketball players have had to be one year removed from high school and at least nineteen years of age if they have wanted to participate in the NBA draft. Before this time, high school basketball players had the option of leaving high school after their senior year in hopes of playing in the NBA. College was not a requirement for these athletes. This became very controversial when many players were coming to the NBA straight after high school and turning out to be “busts” for NBA teams. Many players couldn’t handle the big leap from going to the prom, to making millions of dollars and competing at a very high level. Eventually the NBA made a rule that all high school graduates had to be at least one year removed from high school and at least nineteen years of age. With this new rule, athletes started going to college for only one year before participating in the NBA draft. This is what sparked the…

    In my short life, if there is one thing I have noticed about the sports industry, it’s that money talks. Drew Brees just recently signed a $100 million dollar contract with the New Orleans Saints to play for five more years. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers made $25 million last year alone, while Alex Rodriguez made $32 million. This sure seems like a lot on money for men to be making just to play sports, or is it? Professional Athletes are very good at what they do and deserve every penny they get for the hard work and dedication they put in to just make it to the big leagues.…

    UFC, MMA, Ultimate fighting. This is one of the most exciting, exhilarating, and fierce sport in the world today. So why does it need to be banned? No one is being forced to fight or held against their will. They're usually born to fight, just love to fight, and believe or not it even takes out frustrations and personal issues that no one knows about. So I'm going to tell you that UFC shouldn't because it should be spread world-wide for entertainment value, it will even lift some burdens and the training that is done pays off in the long run.…
