There are only about 19,500 football scholarships to college.¨(Crouch, 2015) Many parents think that if their kids are all-stars in their high school sport, then they might get a scholarship to a good college. They might even go pro. Other parents are much more realistic. They know that scholarships are rare and they believe the mental and physical tolls aren't worth the benefits. It is clear that overall playing…

When a ball is kicked at its side it begins to spin around in its place according to the location of the kick. If it is kicked at the side and a bit towards the bottom the ball rises up in the air while spinning on its own axis. In the beginning it will fly exactly in the direction of the kick, and as it slows down due to friction with the air, the spinning motion will cause the air on one side to move faster than that on the other side and because of the Magnus effect the ball will then change…

This creativity has another side; with the improvisation, the thing which makes the Brazilian game so beautiful to watch, comes a disregard of tactics, of system. Again this is rooted in the origins of the game in Brazil and its development in a country plagued by racial and social inequality.

Singing the National Anthem before football games has been going on for decades. Before 2009 the players didn’t come out for the National Anthem during primetime games. After 2009 all the players are “suppose” to be on the field for the National Anthem. This changed when the backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers decided to take a kneel in protest…

I believe Troy’s dream is denied. Throughout the story, Troy mentions about his baseball dream. One of the few examples Troy gave is when Rose pleads for him to let Cory play and Troy said he didn’t want Cory to experience what he did with sports. What Troy mean is he doesn’t want Cory to waste his time on a hopeless dream like he did in baseball. I also noticed how Troy dislikes how the white folks treated and restricted his race. His love for the game is very apparent in how the people around…

oday, athletes are getting paid more than ever. If you are a professional athlete at the highest levels, you are most likely making millions of dollars. "How is this fair?" some may ask. People getting paid millions of dollars just to dribble a ball and put it through a hoop, or running with a ball to the other side of the field, or even kicking a ball into a net may seem ludicrous. Some may even say they shouldn't even be paid at all. These people are missing the big picture. It's all about…
