Getting paid after already reaping benefits like free schooling or free job training should not be allowed. Listland.com stated that, ¨A student athlete is an amateur just like a student accountant who is making a choice to participate in a sport as their overall educational experience” (Anderson). Using a scholarship can save an athlete thousands and sometimes more than a hundred thousand dollars. Listland.com…

I think it’s not cool to use PEDs in sports. Even though it has been shown that taking these drugs improves performance. I remember an old Gatorade commercial where it talks about how Gatorade originated with the Florida Gator football team. Toward the end the narrator says” those boys drank that stuff and they became a second-half team.” Gatorade helps with endurance but it’s not a drug. It replaces fluids and electrolytes during physical activity. It’s legal. It doesn’t make you bigger,…

As Phil Jackson (basketball executive, former coach and player) once said, “Good teams become great ones, when the members trust each other enough to surrender the “me” for the “we”.” This quote proves that when teammates work together as one team, they achieve more than they would working alone, by themselves. Participating in team sports does help to build character. In the article, “Team Sport Build Character” by JuniorC, it shows great examples and reasons of why team sports build up…

Professional athletes are some of the most famous people in our country, and on top of that, they get payed a lot too.

"Should Sports Betting Be Legal Everywhere?"http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/. New York Times, 3 Feb. 2014) Over 118 million people have actually bet or placed money on actual sporting events, according to ESPN.

Cadin Chaplin ¾ In 2009 75% of athletes in the NFL after 2 years of retirement are bankrupt. Athletes are overpaid to play something for “fun”, even some athletes seem to be paid limitless amounts of money to play sports. Most athletes pay is more than most people who are actually important. Stanton scored 325 million dollars for only 37 home runs. Even the president's annual salary is only 400,000. People who devote their lives to try to make cures for cancer don’t even get half as much as a…

The term soulmates has always flown about, scarf-like, through the whims of youth--as if tethered to some mythical upshot of the essence of life. But I know the truth. Oh, how they will tell tales of us, My Dear! How the pallid wash of grey-stone was enough to curse her alabaster heart. Perhaps they will liken me to a whisping strands of light caught thrashing against the estrangement of midnight. Oh, and in those stories she will be agile. One minute: a fragmented piece of daylight wrapped…

“Academics Over Sports” An anonymous source once said, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” Creating a future is always difficult because a person does not know what they are interested in yet, but without a determined mindset, an individual will never get started. Laziness in school does not get a person substantially far in their lifetime because they fall behind in school and then in life after school. Scholars who are in sports tend to stay out of trouble more than…
