Professional athletes get paid millions of dollars to play a game. Do you think they really deserve that much money for tossing a ball around? The money that pays the athletes for a game we all play competitively can be used for someone who actually shapes the future and fights for our country. For instance‚ Floyd Mayweather is the top paid athlete in the world for boxing‚ earning a total of three hundred million dollars. Do we really need to promote a dangerous sport by paying someone three hundred

Schools use old football helmets for their football teams - some as old as 10 years. Each helmet has a 10 year old warranty and should get reconditioned & recertified every year. It doesn’t mean that a 10 year old helmet isn’t up to code. It just means you can’t use it because you can’t get it recertified. Helmets that were recertified have lables inside them showing the last recertification date.http://www.kshb.com/news/football-helmets-up-to-10-years-old-still-in-use Let’s face it.

wholeheartedly that a football player should suffer consequences such as being kicked off the football team when it comes to being found guilty of assault. It’s understandable that no one wants the football team to suffer when they lose their star player‚ but this football player is not setting a good example to anyone by hurting others. But I do believe that they need to be found guilty of the assault and it not be just hearsay or someone falsely accusing an ex boyfriend‚ for example‚ just to get back at them

Hard work is a great deal of effort or endurance. It is determination‚ and it is something that should be regarded in more ways than one. Many athletes‚ including myself‚ every year work so hard and don’t get enough credit. We should do something about that‚ in order to make sure athletes don’t feel like they are being taken advantage of. Some people think that if they get paid then it would be treated like a job and people wouldn’t care about grades or if they graduate or even about behavior and

Aaron Stout Argument Many middle and lower class Americans would agree with me that Major League Baseball athletes are dramatically over paid. Some of these athletes don’t think they are making enough money to survive on‚ which is ridiculous‚ due to the amount of money average Americans are able to live on. According to Eric Stephen of Associate Press‚ the 2012 MLB minimum salary has increased from $414‚000 2011‚ to $480‚000 in 2012 (par 3.) This is 10 times the amount of money the average

College football has been around for many years‚ and the BCS part of the bowl system has been in place since 1998. Many could say this was the year that one of the worst post-season sporting systems was put into place. It has done many things good and bad. It has caused a lot of controversy‚ gained universities tons of money‚ and frustrated many college football fans around the nation. With good comes bad‚ it is about outweighing the negatives with positives‚ and this is not something the BCS system

Kids should get paid for good grades because then they might actually try harder in school. A majority of kids just slack off and don’t care about their grades. Kids want money and if you pay them to do good during school‚ it will help. Some kids might not go along with it because they’ll probably think it’s just a way to bribe them. (In a way‚ you are bribing them.) I guarantee that most kids will have higher grades and will do better in school if you actually give them something they want. Schools

playing high school football and having the skills of Odell Beckham or being the one who score so the most like one of the best soccer players like Messi or Ronaldo. I do it too tho I see myself scoring touchdowns gaining yards on the field or making tackles where you would cringe to see in person. But all we do is believe that we can just be as good as anyone. Students get scholarships and go to college to play sports and then make the NFL are what all of us high school football players want. We all have
