    Rugby union is based on the 'right to contest possession'.

    The National Football League is better than the National Basketball Association because in the NFL there are more contact hits, NFL players get paid more money, and the NFL is more physical in it. National Football League was founded around the 1920’s as the American Professional Football Association. The NFL comprises 32 teams spread out over two conferences. The first two teams in the was the Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals.…

    Who doesn’t get excited watching Super Bowl or FIFA World Cup? The anticipation of “who’s going to win?” is always the golden question. The commercials and entertainment running during the Super Bowl makes it a yearly social event even for non football fans. In the same way soccer fans wait anxiously every four years to watch FIFA World Cup. The popularity of these two sports, soccer and American Football, is all over the world. The growing excitement fans feel is mutual but these two sports are far from being similar. They are individually different in sport histories, equipments, and in competing for different championship.…

    The NFL and NCAA football have lots of things in common, but I like to lean toward the NFL for being better to watch. The National Football League (NFL) was founded in 1920, and only two teams currently in the NFL is the Decatur Stanleys now the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals now the Arizona Cardinals. College football was founded on November 6, 1869, and it’s played by student athletes. They both have their good and bad with the rules but I love how the NFL rules are played out. It’s a difference how the players are ruled down in the leagues. To be ruled down in the NFL the runner must have been touched any sort of way by the opposing team. In college a player is down whenever any part of his body other than his hands or his feet…

    Death is the equalizer of human kind, no matter if you are dirt poor or if you have all the money in the world. Death will find you and you will exhale your last ever breath. Two stories that take a look at death in two completely different ways are Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" and George Clayton Johnson's "nothing in the Dark." Both may seem to have nothing in common, but taking a closer look reveals many important similarities between "The Masque of the Red Death" and "Nothing in the Dark," settings, protagonists, and antagonists.…

    There are many other differences between these sports. For example, in football, the game is a series of plays of short bursts of action; after each play both teams then regroup to prepare for the next play. The difference in Rugby is that the action stops for shorter periods of time, this is because after a player is tackled, the ball is quickly rolled to a teammate, and play resumes. Lastly, Rugby is a more international sport, whereas football is played mostly in the continent of North…

    Each year millions of Americans watch and play both football and baseball. Whether it be the excitement of a walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, or a Hail Mary pass in the fourth quarter, we continue to enjoy them year after year. While Texans may argue that football is the superior sport, and Californians the opposite, can these sports really be compared? Nearly everything about them is different, right down to the shape of the ball. But both sports unite us, whether it be on the field, in the stands, or at home on the couch. They teach the value of teamwork and communication being used to achieve a common goal. Despite both football and baseball being based on teamwork, the type of teamwork used in football can help more in…

    One day I watched a football game and observed the spectators present that day. There were fans from both the teams, school newspaper staff, yearbook staff, former high school football players, the players' relatives, and other spectators. At the end of the game, I asked my high school team's wide receiver and friend, " Why do want to a score a touchdown?" to which he replied, "For the audience." From then I realized that football players are aware of the audience when they play. They are aware of their fans, journalists, and the people who learn from the game. Football players play well to impress their audience and get better comments from journalists. In the case of my friend, his awareness towards the audience motivated him to play well and had his dream to…
