Summary: Don T Listen To Jeremiah Jacobs

Improved Essays
Don't listen to Jeremiah Jacobs. Why make such a bold statement upfront?

The main difficulty with Jacobs running for School President is based off of his many empty promises and his overestimated abilities to get what he wants. Not to mention his inadequacy of taking on such a role while keeping the interest of the school as a whole without the understanding necessary as compared to most seniors. Firstly, who actually wants a football team? According to a survey done throughout the school, the students rather would spend more money on bettering the already existing teams (e.g. lacrosse, volleyball, golf, etc.) instead of divvying

A lot of people feel that they should get paid for the hard work they do, while others such as myself say that they should not be paid.

The first reason I feel that college athletes shouldn’t be paid is due to the fact that a lot of them are already having their education paid for due to scholarships. Now not every single college athlete gets a full scholarship but a lot of them do.…

Teachers can also help by just allowing a student to have more time to finish a test or allow them to wear sunglasses or a baseball cap because of light sensitivity. The student might even need to work in another room away from peers so they can concentrate or allowed to leave the room periodically due to noise levels or to rest (DeNisco). States need to make a push for these little things to help students out because their academics is always important and should be put first before sports.

    In any business someone is getting the short end of the stick. Whether that be an employee, manager, or even costumer; there seems to always be a winner and loser. But there is one business that is unmatched in its disparity between winners and loser, and that is the business of college football. The last time this country saw such a wide gap between people benefiting from a business while others suffered was back in the 1920s when we did not have labor laws and employers could pay workers next to nothing. But college football is even worse than that because universities pay absolutely nothing to their stars on the field while they poll in millions of dollars each year.…
