    Summary: Super-Athletes In Football

    The early days of the National Football League were much different than they are now, in fact when it first started it was more of a regulated brawl than a sporting contest and forward passing was not permitted (Peterson 4). The game of football has positively progressed over the many years and as the game advances, so does the equipment, players, and coaches. It is beneficial for the game of football to progress with time for obvious safety reasons, and to also keep the passion and love for the sport alive.…

    The Principles Of Checks And Balances

    The Constitution is an outline framework of fundamental laws for governing the United States and guaranteeing the basic rights of its citizens. The founding fathers wanted a democratic and balanced nation under control without too much interference from the government. In the Constitution, two of the six principles that we have, is a limited government, to prevent tyranny of the despot, as well as checks and balances. Limitation in the government is where the governmental power is restricted by law. No one has ultimate power so that we can all live in a free and equal society.…

    Nature vs. Nurture

    Athleticism, otherwise know as an active interest in sports or an obsessive participation in physical activity seems to engulf my life. This characteristic resembles active, but includes the athletic and a physical activity associated with engaging in an action. Although being athletic seems as simple as tossing a ball around the backyard, it’s difficult to measure the amount fitness and effort required for a completive competition such as a marathon. It’s also important to consider calculating the athletic statistics and achievements of an individual throughout a game or even an entire career. Athleticism can be evaluated be observing an athlete’s performance levels during multiple stages of a football or soccer match.…

    Should Athletes Be Allowed To Use Steroids

    Long before Cal scored the touchdown in the 1982 “Big Game” against Stanford, and before Stephen Curry made a record-breaking number of three pointers in one basketball game, sports was primarily based on natural abilities. Today, sports has evolved to elevate the level of play and performance. Major competitions such as the Olympics manifest the most dominant world athletes. The winners are deemed the best in their sport for their abilities to be biologically and physically gifted and to harness that potentiality. These athletes train strenuously, often ingesting synthetic or natural additives to increase performance. To remain competitive in increasingly higher levels of play, athletes should have the choice of using their natural gifts and/or using performance enhancing drugs. Neither an athlete who has a gene that prompts a superior physique nor an athlete who uses steroids should be deemed cheaters, for they are pushing sports to a new level and creating an equal level of play.…

    Technology Impact On Sports

    When people analyze and evaluate the history of sports from a technology aspect, the game has tremendously been influenced where gathering content is attainable expeditiously with the click of a mouse. The ability to gather information so rapidly in today’s sports market is something that was unheard of about 15-20 years ago. Furthermore, technology just doesn’t influence sports; it has an impact on everything in society. For example, music has been recorded for over centuries when technology was an afterthought. There were no computers, digital mixing systems or the latest technological equipment available to past musicians during the 1920’s or 1930’s. In addition, the quality of movies that were produced from the beginning of the 20th Century until today has drastically evolved with graphics and special effects enhancements. Lastly, I remember the era when people had beepers and would use a pay phone or go back upstairs to return the page received. Looking no further than our own pockets, the majority of…

    Technological Advancements In Sports Analysis

    Today’s sport fans have more ways to consume televised broadcasts of their favorite team or event than any other time in history. In addition to live television, which has been around since 1939, when the first college football game was broadcasted, they now have the ability to view them on their computers, tablets, or smart phones (Galily, 2014, Voort, 2014). The technological advancements in television viewership has helped to drive the increase in broadcast rights fees paid by networks to televise college sports, to the staggering levels we see today. In 1985 the NCAA and CBS inked a three year deal worth $94.7 million, which included the rights to broadcast all intercollegiate athletic events (Jensen, Wakefield, Cobbs, & Turner 2015).…

    Media Culture Of Basketball Essay

    The sport I will be study is basketball. Basketball is one of the few sports whose exact origin is definitely known. In the winter of 1891–1892, Dr. James Naismith, an instructor in the YMCA Training College (now Springfield College) at Springfield, Mass., deliberately invented the game of basketball in order to provide indoor exercise and competition for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseball season. He affixed peach baskets overhead on the walls at opposite ends of the gymnasium and organized teams to play his new game in which the purpose was to toss an association (soccer) ball into one basket and prevent the opponents from tossing the ball into the other basket. Because Dr. Naismith had…

    Ethnic Conflict In Iraq

    Upon marching into Iraq in 2003, American forces were tasked with deposing Saddam Hussein and imposing stability and security. The former was accomplished with stunning rapidity; the latter continues to elude Iraqis, regional interests, and the Western world almost fifteen years later. Why such chaos? Even the American “surge” of soldiers in 2007 did little to quell the violence. Ethnic conflict between the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shias, extant prior to American involvement, intensified post-invasion.…
