Are professional athletes making too much money? In most professional sports athletes are making millions. Athletes are not making too much money, we are the ones that support them, they give up their lives for the sport, and they want to do as much for their families as they can. We can’t blame the athletes for all their money when we are the ones paying for the games and supporting it. Sports is something that keeps a lot of people going, some people think about sports all the time, day and…

A player who continues to be a part of the team, and may not necesarily be contributing in a statistical standpoint is a reserve. They are the player who is seldom being used to be field inside the playing court. A reserve (benchwarmer) is the hardest and most underrated position of any team. If a player is thought as a role-player, not making the starting lineup takes tons more character, determination, guts and discipline than is needed when fortunate enough to play all the time (Goldberg,…

a part and parcel of the equation. I’m not just talking about your expensive drivers and irons or your comfortable golf uniform. I’m also talking about the popular rangefinders. These small but terrible devices are so useful, you’ll find even professional golf players carrying them during competitions. A good rangefinder boosts your confidence by a mile. How so? Think of it this way. How confident would you be if you can measure the distance to your target accurately? I bet you’ll be oozing…

Three careers that would be well suited for me are a cost estimator, an operations research analyst, and a conservation officer. Two of these careers involve quantitative thinking and mathematical skills, while the third career involves enforcing laws and regulations and working outdoors. Due to my interest in working outdoors I have chosen conservation officer as the best career opportunity for me. The first job I researched is a cost estimator. I researched this job because it involves…

Wendy C. Alcalá Jon Sigmon SOC 134 04/25/2016 The Good and the Bad in Sports Sports have existed for so long that it seems impossible to imagine a world without them in society. The principal purpose of sports in American society was social entertainment and a source of exercise. As time has passed they have become even more important; they now play a bigger part in society and teach different values to those that are somehow linked to them, whether it’s being a part of sports or being the…

Golf swing speed can be calculated without the need for modern technology. If a golfer can determine exactly how far their golf ball traveled prior to landing, they can determine the speed of their swing. For every 2.3 yards traveled, a swing has to generate a speed of 1 mph. For anyone who is wondering how useful it is to have this knowledge, they should consider that the only way to increase distance is to increase the speed of the swing. Measuring progress requires some kind of metrics by…

have decided whether or not pro athletes are overpaid, but have you? Your decision will be the one that counts the most in this debate between what might be good, or bad. Surprisingly, not even the President of the United States makes as much as professional athletes do in a yearly income. Although he runs the entire country, he makes or made; $569,000 a year. Which is millions less than athletes earn. Things like this make a difference, is there something wrong? Lebron James earns 77.2…

Athletes are such an attraction. What a talent!... but if that’s a talent than can saving a life be known as a talent? I ask this question because doctors, nurses, and so much more, do this for a living. So aren’t these “life savers” whose job is to save lives, the real talent? The thing conflict here is that athletes are paid a great sum of money while our life savers are not even close. What does it say about our society when we pay our athletes more than our life savers? And yes, athletes do…

Should performance enhancing drugs (such as steroids) be accepted in sports? James kirkup M.A. made a statement on Nov.10.2015 on the article titles “athletics doping crisis is just another reason to allow drugs in sports” he states that “ what should happen is this: doping should be allowed. In this article the argument for steroids and other performance enhancement drugs comes down to “why do we need to ban them?” James Kirkup is open minded to not only allow use in sports but in gene…

I think it is sad that athletes feel that they are under so much pressure to win that they turn to drugs to ensure their best possible performance. They shouldn’t just resort to drugs they should work and train hard just like everyone else “Hard work pays off” is starting still a very true statement but its sad to think that the athletes that are drug doping don’t have to work as hard as other athletes because they have a huge help from steroids and other forms drugs that increase muscle and…
