    Response on Dave Barry’s “Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out” Glancing around my bedroom, I observe clean floors and homework assignments sprawled out on the table as my jumbled written thoughts are on the brink of being thrown away. My collection of books is lined up neatly on a shelf along with the stuffed animals my grown-up self does not play with anymore. I can hear down the stairs and I listen to the television playing the Cleveland Brown’s football game and the microwave signaling the finished result of the leftover brisket that was in the refrigerator. In Dave Barry’s essay, “Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out,” he explains that the majority of women fasten their focus on the unimportant aspects of life such as cleaning; yet through the…

    The only ones not cashing in, it seems, are the player themselves. " This does not seem fair that the ones who are making the money are not receiving any of the money. Greg Johnson, sports editor at The Daily Targum, and StudentNation, organization who give first-person accounts from student activists, organizers and journalists reporting on youth-oriented movements for social justice, economic equality and tolerance, says, "Coaches and athletic directors can negotiate million-dollar contracts, billions are available for installing state-of-the-art facilities, but the whole enterprise hinges on maintaining an arbitrary benefit to the student athletes. " Supporters of the notion that college athletes should not be paid argue that there are problems with payment. Johnson, who spent sixteen years working in the School of Sport Sciences at Wingate University (NC), and Acquaviva, professor of sports science at Wingate University (NC) say that refuters ask the questions "how much should the athletes get paid and will payments be based on performance?…

    For as long as I can remember, I have always played as the left fielder in baseball. Playing this position was always easy for me. When I estimated the trajectory of a ball speeding through the air, I could always run to where I thought it would be and catch it. It was as if the outfield became my home, I was comfortable there. One day during practice, my coach told me to try and play as the first baseman.…

    Coaches are prioritizing sports over academics and the student athletes have little to no say. Most people would agree that sports controlled by the NCAA are as popular as professional sports, but in order to achieve the same status, preparation and practice is an essential part. In an interview with the Huffington Post (Zenor), Stanley McClover, a former football player for the University of Auburn, admitted to getting paid during recruitment and while playing for the Tigers. McClover would receive seven thousand dollars from a undefined booster club as well as three hundred to four hundred dollars at the end of each game, depending on his performance. Further into the interview, Stanley McClover began to get emotional as he told interviewee John Zenor of the Post that without that money there would not have been a way to support himself while in college.…

Two of the points he really focuses on are women’s awareness of dirt (220) and men’s sensitivity to sports (221). Women can see dirt that men can’t see at all which makes them exceptionally bad at cleaning, especially bathrooms.…
