    The NFL: An Example Of Satire

    In all examples of satire the NFL is credited to the allegations of their players and crimes and what they do to combat it. In the first article it talks about all the wonderful thing the NFL is doing and how I show to the world like an open book, but then calls everyone very brash names. This shows that the writer believes the complete opposite, that they are very lucrative. I believe this article is mediocre at best for satire. This article show the flaws of the NFL and sandals, but it doesn’t do anything for the reader, it didn’t make me feel any different. The next example is the info-graphic. The info-graphic shows a couple watching TV. The girlfriend ask if they can watch Dr. Phil, but the boyfriends just shrugs it off and continues to…

    Destroying Sunday Night Football

    Similar to other sports football playing has unhealthy long term repercussions like Alzheimer's and memory loss. It would be extremely unknowledgeble to believe that a contact sport like football that has been professionally played by athletes for just over 90 years, would not lead to mental problems. The idea of destroying the game of football seems impossible due to to the millions who enjoy the game and the individuals who have made careers out of not only participating in the activity for most of the year, but the people who are responsible for the events even happening. Destroying Sunday night football or the annual super bowl is absurd and will not be done easily. Furthermore, if football is destroyed because of brain damage…

    Why Ban College Football?

    Why banned college football? That’s the real question. College football truly means something to most Americans! Most college football players don’t even get paid to play the sport. Though there are many good arguments and opinions about banning the sport; I have yet to see an argument that considers the players individual situations. All the people who are against keeping college football only consider the academic purposes. The players show their hard work, commitment, and devotion to the sport. They play for the entertainment of Americans and talking it away would be a massive mistake.…
