The new rules in the National Football League are changing the way the game is being played and the way it affects the players. One of the many ways it affects the players is benefiting their health, and that’s why most of the new rules are added into the NFL. There is an average of 128 concussions per year and about nine concussions per week. There are positive ends and negative ends of the whole situation that can make the game boring for the players and also the spectators. This also makes the game safer for the players in their long-term life from their kids to their own health. The NFL could be changing for the better, or for the worse of it.…
Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and Sunday Night Football are those special nights when many fans lose their minds over how the NFL rule book is set up. The NFL has many rules that are not clear and should be revised. Almost every rule can have an argument on what is wrong with it, as well on how it should be changed to have a clear cut explanation when a play comes into question. Some of the most argued calls come from these Rules and Sections in the NFL rule book: Rule 2- Definitions - Section 2-The Ball, and Possession of the ball, Section 14- Fouls and spots of enforcement, violation, and Rule 15- Officials and instant replay.…
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.…

1 out of every 3 children in the United States is considered obese. That is about 25 million children in this great country of ours that are overweight. I think there are two main reasons why these 25 million children are overweight. Number one is that children aren’t eating the right foods, that is the main reason why there are a lot of obese children in the world today. The second reason is because these children aren’t getting enough exercise throughout the day which makes it even easier to become obese.…

The website I would use to host my fantasy football league would be the league on the NFL website. I would chose the NFL website because I feel like they have a better knowledge of the athletes and I think they would be the first one to know what player is playing and who’s hurt. The NFL website has notes and facts about the player if you just click on his name and it will show you what there facts are. The type of league I would pick is a football league because that is the sport that I know the most of and pay the most attention to it.…
Soccer now ranking third in girls’ sports, has become one of the most popular sports played by adolescents in America. (Shane Monaghan). Organized woman sports teams started in the nineteen-seventies and ever since the growth of soccer for females has dramatically increased. Although the women’s teams were mostly national or college level, it spiked the interests of many teens.

Because of America national soccer teams ranking highly, and video games like FIFA, Soccer has become one of the fastest growing sports in America (Matthias Kunz). Now there are over three million players between ages five and…

Clay Matthews is their linebacker and he is an amazing player with super big muscles. One other player who i think is a big part of the Green Bay Packers is Jordy Nelson, he is the wide receiver and he was unranked!…
"INTERCEPTION!" shouts the announcer. The game is 20-14. Your team who is losing, just intercepted the ball at your 10 yard line. There is one minute left in the fourth quarter and each team has only one time out. You are the quarter back and now have to take the ball down-field to win the game. What's your call?…
In the midst of the debate over our national morals, a key issue I wish for budding scholars to discuss is whether coaches should punish their players for kneeling during the national anthem. In my opinion, coaches have no right to “bench” their players for exercising their free speech; a liberty on which our nation was built. While it may be seen as disrespectful among the white majority of NFL coaches, to the players who fall victim to issues of police brutality and negligence by our current administration, they are using peaceful defiance to stand up for the lives they hold close. Who are we to criticize this resistance when it will eventually go down in history as martyrous? Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and countless other athletes are…
Football is one of America’s most beloved sports and with the super bowl coming up; fans of the sport are getting ready for the big game. I am an avid football fan myself and love playing it as much I enjoy watching it. What I have come to notice recently, is how the lives of football players are drastically changed when they are off the field. Football is a full contact sport, if you’re not prepared or unprotected at any given time during a play, you could end up limping off the field nursing injuries or even leave the game on a stretcher.…
