Rugby union is based on the 'right to contest possession'. A team is not required to surrender possession when the ball carrier is tackled, in contrast to American football, where a team must surrender their possession when a player is tackled and no downs remain. Rugby union players must win possession in open play, unless the team in possession makes an infringement, scores, or the ball leaves the field of play.…
Martin Luther King Jr. is a name that everyone in America now a days should recognize who he was and some of the things he did. The mid 1900’s were not the brightness for both blacks or whites in the country as segregation was still around but, 1950’s to 1960’s those who were segregated were starting to open their eyes and release their thoughts. Martin Luther King Jr. was considered the leader of these efforts and this did not go down unpunished. He was arrested numerous times however he was showing no fear during these arrests. He would write letters meant for whoever would read it such as the one from Birmingham Alabama Jail and it had purpose to it. The purpose which was the…

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.…
What would you rather do, go to a football game or a rugby game? Would you rather yell at the “scrum” or cheer for the completed “flea-flicker”? Do you prefer pads or shorts? Well, first you should probably know the differences between them before you choose. There are many similarities and contrasts in these two sports: the ball, contact-aspects, and how points are scored.…
Likewise football requires a great deal of strength to be able to block the other opposing team in order to take the win. In order for football players and dancers to be able to continuously perform these actions they have to constantly train. Dancers and football players train not only during their on-season, but during their off-season as well. Along with the amount of physical strength both sports take, the mental complexity of each shows major similarities. Both sports require to be at the top of your game no matter what. For instance, whereas football players need to know constantly be aware of where the ball is and where his teammates and opponents are located, dancers must be aware of their body positions, the timing of the music, and their partners positions and moves. Each sport requires a great deal of hand-eye coordination and the ability to be aware of their surroundings. Along with both dance and football requiring an extreme amount of physical strength and mental complexity, they both are two of the most injury prone sports. Dance and…
Dance. How can you survive a University with what people think is an easy major. If you ask someone who has zero dance experience, I bet seventy-five percent of the time people are going to say that it is an easy subject. When someone says that it is easy, I laugh at them and tell them that they have no idea on what they are talking about. There is technique that you have to learn, movements that your body does not want to do because it is not used to it. Then the sense of rhythm that need to be on point for the actions. It is harder than it sounds. When you first start dancing you break down the mussels and then build them back up to gain more muscle. I also laugh when athletes say that Dance is not a sport. I tell them to go to a dance class for a day and see if they…
I have been to many basketball camps since I have entered high school. After a couple of years they become routine for players. I got my first opportunity this summer to go to a football camp at CHadron University which I figured couldn’t be too much different than a basketball camp. I figured you played a few games, went to bed, woke up sore and repeat the process like in basketball. I found out that there are actually a lot of differences between basketball and football camps then people would think.…
Despite the many differences that soccer and football have it is interesting to see all that these sports are also pretty similar but with not many big difference’s in both. A lot of the differences are actually just the amount of protective gear or one sport may have more necessities then the other. Another difference is just simply where the sports are…
Hockey and Cross country are two completely different sports in many aspects for example one is played on ice and is very physical and the other you are running on dry ground and all you do is run. But in many aspects these two sports have more in common than most people would think. These two sports in some aspects are polar opposes but having played them both I can say they are very similar.…
Dancing has the same components as any other sports- to be able to dance well one needs to be flexible, strong, have, stamina, have endurance and most importantly you need to have a love for what you do (Garcht, 2013). Football players need the same components as dancers. Flexibility- because they need muscles to be safe when the fall. Strongness, to be able to tackle, stamina to be able to go far without stopping, and endurance to be able to keep playing. All Professional ballerinas practice/train 5 to 6 days a week, and take at least 10 classes a week to build technique. (normal day for a proffesional dancer, 2016). Most other athletes practice 10 or less hours a week, dancer practice 20-25 hours a week. That’s double the time, practice, pain and dedication dancing is one of the most athletic sports, from long hard practices to making it look effortless. If dance isn’t considered a sport than neither should football.…
Every dance is different and every back story of a company, person, or somthing is going to be different. There are large steps in the dance industry, flat shoes to pointe shoes. A dancer that dances in core but auditions for a lead and gets it. Like any good sport dance takes time and commitment to get get good and it and it's something that isn't easy. From long performance to hours in a studio each stage is important. Ballet started in the 1500 in italy and now it's around the world to be performed to share their passion with…
For many years there has been the great debate of dancing and whether or not it is a sport. Most athletes look at dance and say “That’s not a sport. Anyone can dance.”(Is Dance A Sport? para 1). Dance to the majority of the population is considered to be an art and no more. I’ve heard countless times where people would say “Dancers aren’t athletes” and this paper is dedicated to proving those people wrong. Although dance is a performing art, there are other attributes that tie into the activity that make it a sport.…
The definition of a sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Dance is a way of art, yes, but it is also one hundred percent a sport. The fact that dance can be an art and a sport already counts more than just football or baseball. Some people believe that dance is not a sport because there is no physical action. In reality, dance is a sport for many reasons, one being that dancers train for hours, they compete and get injured, and they are flexible beyond measure. The people that believe that dance is not a sport, have no logical or proven reasons why it should not be considered a sport. The one reason why someone might think that it is not…
