Young Sophomore College Student: I Think Joe Mixon
I Think Joe Mixon is an young Sophomore college student who thinks he is untouchable because he is an star college football player. I also think that he also just doesn't care for authority of any sort, which is now coming back to backfire on him as he starts to get noticed more in the national spotlight. I feel Stoops was a tad out of line for suspending him for the entire game I feel an half or limited series would of done just as good for an $15-20 parking citation that is on campus. Finally, I feel a lesson will not get taught to Joe Mixon if he didn't learn when he was given a second chance after striking a women he just won't learn and this will become a reoccurring theme.

    Boyer V. Iowa High School Sports Club Case Brief

    I can not say that I totally agree with the case. I do believe that this case shouldn 't have been thrown out and a thorough investigation of the bleachers should have been done. How many times has this happened? Do the school have monthly equipment checks, where they check and see what condition of their equipments including bleachers are in? What happened to Mrs. Boyer and her friends shouldn 't have happened if the school would have checked out the bleachers before the game started. The high school should at least pay for any injuries that were caused by their…

    Bcs Long Overdue Case Study

    Football is a game of force and power, and the answer to problems on the field often is "Hit him harder" or “run faster.” Success is based on dominating the offensive and defensive lines and, if possible, not turning the ball over during the game. The U.S. Justice Department is looking into the BCS system. The DOJ wonders if it violates antitrust laws. It wonders why, when every other college sport has a playoff system, major college football does not.…

    This time there was actual evidence and proof that he beat his girlfriend up. His girlfriend had bruises and scratches all over her body. Because of that the NFL suspended him for the first 10 game of the 2015 NFL season. it was then switched to the first 4 games of the NFL season. Why? I don't know why. The NFL is just trying to protect their players and make up for their cases. The big problem with the NFL is how they're handling this situation. They can be more involved and look at the pictures to decide that he should be suspended the whole year. Instead once again they just try to brush off the situation and act like once again everything is…

    Shoeless Joe Jackson Thesis

    The 1919 Chicago “Black Sox” scandal is one of the biggest instances of sports deception in professional sports history. It was the one and only known time where members of a professional sports team had thrown the World Series because of bribery. It revolved around a major New York gangster named Arnold Rothstein, who supplied the money to all of the players that were involved in the throwing. One particular player out of the starting nine was “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, an all star and a future Hall of Famer. He was one of the first players in the court case who pleaded guilty for taking money to intentionally lose the 1919 Baseball World Series. After the court ruling, Jackson told reporters, “The jury could not have returned a fairer verdict, but I don't want to go back to organized baseball--I'm through with it.” This quote shows how he really felt about the entire situation and how sorry…

    A Big Shot Smash Analysis

    One of the main characters, Smash, makes the correct decision to go on strike and returns at the correct time because of Coach Magill’s dehumanizing comments, the lack of a full-hearted apology, and the needs of Smashes African American teammates. In the beginning of the film, Coach Magill, when being interviewed after the team’s big win at states says that Smash and several of his other black teammates are “junk yard dogs”. The moment he compared black people to animals is where the conversation crossed the line. It is at this point in which the conversation with the reporters changes from lighthearted to racist. This comment is dehumanizing and it is completely understandable how the African American community at Dillon High School reacted.…

    Southern Mehodist University Football Scandel

    In 1987 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A.) placed its harshest football punishment in history on Southern Methodist University (S.M.U.). The repeat violator rule, also known as the “death penalty,” banned the college from playing football for all of the 1987 and only allowed to play seven games in its 1988 season. They used S.M.U. as an example of what could happen when a college excessively violates N.C.A.A. regulations. The death penalty was the last option for the university because they were already on probation for past major violations with N.C.A.A. ("SMU Football Gets," 1987, p. 1C). The only thing left of S.M.U. after receiving ‘death’ was pick up the pieces and they are still trying to put the sport back together after so many years.…

    Jonathan Martin Hazing Essay

    In the 144-page report, Jonathan Martin discussed how he was repeatedly harassed during his two years with the Dolphins. Football is a process where it is similar to bullying/hazing. For example, majority of fraternities and sororities go through this process with new candidates for crossing. Even though they don’t admit it, their process is to break a candidate down then build them back up in the process. Martin has to look at the situation as if he were a candidate as well. Yes his process was way longer than a fraternity, but it’s basically the same thing. I’m sure the candidates go through the same situations and maybe even worse.…

    Ray Rice Domestic Violence

    Upon the release of partial video footage of the assault the NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, banned Rice for two games without pay and fined him $58,000. Many felt that this punishment was insufficient and this message was continued to be reinforced through constant media coverage on the matter. This then led to Goodell revising the league’s policy on assault, battery, domestic violence and sexual assault, instituting a six-game suspension for NFL personnel who violate the policy once, and a lifetime ban for those who do so twice. Although the revision seemed like a step in the right direction, what was to follow was like fuel to the fire for the media.…

    Baseball Scandal

    The Milwaukee Court held, “the commissioner acted clearly within his authority” (Milwaukee 7). The Court found there was no definition of what constituted “detrimental conduct” and that this was by design, to keep out court rulings. The court states that the commissioner is granted “almost unlimited discretion in the determination of whether or not a certain state of facts creates a situation detrimental to [baseball]” (Milwaukee 6). The court does set out two limits on arbitrator (and commissioner) power; the decision cannot be arbitrary or induced by fraud (Milwaukee 6). If the Milwaukee Court were to decide the NFL Management Council case they would likely hold Commissioner Goodell acted within his authority because he has the authority to determine what conduct is detrimental to the league. Most likely the only way the Milwaukee Court would overturn Goodell’s ruling is if the ruling was fraudulent…
