If you follow Football or watch ESPN then you will know or have heard the name Tim Tebow. He first came into the spot light in college; he was the quarter back for the Florida Gators. Tebow took his team to two BCS Championships in 2007 and 2008 and got a Heisman. His first team in the NFL was the Denver Broncos. Tebow and the broncos made it to the playoffs in 2011, but despite this he was traded to the New York Jets.…
You know, 6th graders,the use of the team names Redskins and how offensive to native americans it is, is very interesting! I know that the name redskins can and is very offensive to native americans. I also know that some states, like california, are trying to and have already banned the name redskins for teams and high schools and things like that. The washington redskins are in court trying to keep the team name and not have to think about different names.

Hi, I’m Isla and today I would like to address the issues that AFL players are put under tremendous amounts of pressure. I will be discussing how the media affects the players, how the limelight affects them and how this affects their well being. Back in the day AFL players never had to worry about the media or social media, now this is something that is interfering with the player’s careers. Recently Port Adelaide player Sam Powell Pepper found himself in a bit of strife, Channel 7 news were quick to the story and accused Powell Pepper of sexual assault.…
Tim Tebow says that we don't have to be big celebrities to be able to impact people with the life-changing message of God. He does not actively play NFL these days, but continues to inspire people to reach out and touch many lives through motivational speeches and charities. Christians often doubt if they will be able to reach out to people with the love of God, but Tebow urged believers to venture out and rely on God. While speaking at an audience of 2,000 at Northside Christian Church, he urged the crowd not to think they can't do anything.…

Preparing to leave left me thinking of the dedication and support seen through the parents and teammates on both sides of the field. Dad’s looking proud of their son's, secretly wishing that they will one day say that their son play for the NFL. Little brothers and sisters looking onwards at their heroes and moms, seeing their son getting flipped and tackled in the air and landing on their back-hoping their son was all right and not injured- is really touching. With all the craziness happening outside the field, either in their professional or personal lives, seem to not matter as soon everyone came together to cheer on their team, support each other, and win. Therefore as the last break was heard, and parents cheered and hugged their sons,…

I’m writing to you today about Donald Trump and Garry Johnson and their views on immigration. The two candidates have very valid points. Before I did any research about their views on this problem I sided with Trump by just saying get them all out. Then I read more about Garry Johnson, he changed my whole outlook on the problem of having illegal immigrants in our country. Trump wants to get all illegal immigrants out of the country.…
As the clock winds down on the scoreboard and the Super Bowl game comes to a close, the Denver Broncos celebrate their win with champagne and confetti. However, the losers, the North Carolina Panthers make their way back into the locker room with their heads hanging low from such a devastating loss. All the news and media can talk about for the next week is who won and lost the Super Bowl.…
It’s in the bottom of the seventh; your team is down by one, bases loaded. Your team is in the meat of the lineup, and you're up next. As you step out of the dugout, you take a deep breath, and you can smell the fresh popcorn and grilled burgers. You can feel the tension from both teams, each earnestly wanting to take the win home. You’re slowly making your way up to the plate, and you're hearing the faint cheers from the fans.…
After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…
Imagine doing something you love as your full time job. Doing the one thing you love to do everyday and you get paid! A wonderful imagination isn't it?[Flattery] As a soccer player i feel it is important to inform others of the unfair payment methods happening today.[Ethos] Because i am not a professional player I cannot talk from my own experiences, but i do play and understand the game.[Anecdote] But, according to the FIFA cooperation, well known professional player Alex Morgan, a player for the US National Women's Soccer Team, gets paid nearly $1,000,000,000 dollars a year. However, Christiano Ronaldo, a player for Real Madrid Men’s team makes an astonishing $40,000,000,000 dollars a year, just to play.…

Soccer is the sport of the world because it brings people together, you only need a ball to play, and it gets more views than any other sport nation wide.…
I think the discussion was good and brought a lot of important parts of this event to light. I believe we did not talk about the real reason this happened. We all understood who the KKK and Nazi’s are. We also understand that they marched to spew hatred and express their beliefs about the statue. However, no one spoke about the connection between the March itself and Donald Trump.…
