Project 1 Have you ever seen an athlete in a commercial? Chances are‚ the answer to that question is YES. For me‚ it seems like every time I turn on the television I see LeBron James in some Nike commercial‚ or Robert Griffin III in the latest Adidas commercial‚ or Ryan Howard smashing Subway sandwiches over the wall! Because it is some professional athlete promoting the product instead of un-famous civilians‚ does it make us as the consumers want to buy the newest Nike apparel‚ or the brand

Powell explains the problems that African American athletes face when they attend a university. Most of these athletes are recruited strictly based off of their performance on the court or the field. While this produces a winning record for the University this does not produce high performing grades in the classroom. When a coach is recruiting a player who is not a good performer in the classroom he or she runs the risk of bringing an athlete into their program who will not succeed at the university

letting their kids play one sport‚ believing‚ incorrectly‚ that specializing in one sport is best. “Why do young athletes choose to specialize? The biggest reason is parents. Many parents encourage specialization because they believe it is an investment in a future scholarship”(Shomper). Beginning at age four and continuing until my senior year in high school‚ I was a multi-sport athlete. Yes‚ it is very challenging at times!

Do you think that athletes are overpaid? Well I believe that athletes are much overpaid. People‚ such as doctors and teachers‚ are not even close to being paid as much as athletes. For example‚ teachers teach students how to read‚ write‚ and speak. All some athletes do would be throwing a ball into a hoop‚ and they make a fortune. What a waste of money! They have so much; they do not even know what to do with it. Athletes should never be paid millions of dollars. To begin with‚ people who have

Athletes make too much money. Athletes hardly have to work for their money‚ and their pay is insanely high. However‚ they do put a lot of strain on their bodies. Athletes should be paid much less than what they are currently paid. Athletes hardly work for their money.

First‚ athletes make way over a million dollars in one year. The average income of an American family is about 54‚000 dollars a year. A nurse only makes 70‚000 dollars a year. Compare that to

Stereotypes can be expressed in either a negative or positive way. Most people apply stereotypes in a negative way to make them feel more superior over others. The category that most people would place me under would be the classification of an athlete or jock. The jock title that I have been placed under has been with me pretty much my entire life. I have played sports since I was four years old when I first started playing soccer and tee ball. From that moment on I have been active in almost every

Athletes‚ under the age of 21 years‚ should be eligible to be drafted into a professional sports team. Playing in a professional sport is a career and setting a limit based on age to when someone can start his or her career is absurd. “Currently‚ to be eligible for the NBA Draft‚ a player has to be at least 19-years-old or one year removed from high school.” (Jessop.2014) In the one year removed from high school‚ the athlete can choose to attend college and declare if he or she would be eligible
