Steroids have always been a negative influence in sports,but what if they didn’t have to be? Studies have shown that spectators enjoy watching athletes play at a higher level. Professional athletes should be allowed to use performance enhancing drugs because spectators are paying to see an athlete perform at their very best, the most entertaining and the most competitive. As a viewer you are paying to see an athlete perform at their respected sport, meaning they should be able to perform at…

“Come on dude we gotta go to the arcade. Willie and his friend hopped in the car and his mom drove them to the arcade. On their way, his mom noticed that the car was on low fuel and they didn’t want to stop to get gas so they kept on going so we decided to take it slow and keep on driving. They really wanted to win that Xbox and hopefully today was the day, because they have nothing to do at their house and hopefully they can change that. They arrived at the arcade and immediately they signed…

Yes, the 27-year-old right hander finally looks like the pitcher everyone envisioned when he was a highly touted prospect six years ago. But the dominance he's displayed since mid-2015 doesn't — and shouldn't — erase the other five years of his injury-riddled career, which makes the Nats' extension a puzzling gamble that seems based on wishful thinking and a way-too-small sample size. Anything but a reliable rotation presence during his six-year career, Strasburg already has had five separate…

Steroids first came onto the scene sometime around the 1930’s. Originally they were tested on dogs, and the progressively began to get tested on World War II soldiers. They also were used on war prisoners as an attempt to keep them healthy as they were suffering from being malnourished. Flash forward about twenty years, a great amount of European athletes realized that steroids were a vital tool when it came to reaching their athletic goals. This soon lead to a whole new wave of athletic records…

Baseball, a game of failure. A game where if you fail 7 out of 10 times you will be great. “Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer" ( Ted Williams ). Players want to be great, they will do anything that takes them to the next level in their performance. Deni Carise, a nationally recognized expert in substance abuse, behavioral health and a Chief Clinical Officer at Recovery Centers of America wrote an article;…

Politics is a controversial phenomenon, particularly in the way it has harnessed the media to influence public opinion. Representations of politics now cannot avoid inclusion of media which predominately conveys the inescapable message of politics Representations give the perceiver a clear view on whether the shadowed meaning brings out the best or worst of human nature. In any society media should use its capacity for representation to inform the people, but in the contemporary society,…

The difference between baseball and football, that is a great question, first, they are not even spelled the same. The only thing I can see that is similar is that they both have the word “ball” in the spelling. Baseball seems to make sense by the spelling; it is a game with the involvement of bases. Football, by the spelling seems to be a game that involves your feet, which we all know is not the case, but seems ironic because most games are won by a field goal. A field goal is when the team…

The White Sox of 1919 are considered to be one of the only teams to successfully fix the World Series because they had a set plan to do it. The 1919 white sox were able to fix the world series because they only let a select few know about the plan, they had other people put the bets for the players so they wouldn’t be seen, and they had people put bets on against them so they could make the most amount of profit as possible. The reason why players from the team decided to go along with fixing…

Extreme Industrialization: Has America Gone Too Far? Football season is finally here! Would now be the best time to invest in a new flat screen TV? I bet if I shopped around, I could find one for under $400. My chief concerns include: What store will have the best deal? What screen size do I want? Is any specific brand of better quality than the others on the market? Will the store offer a warranty? How about a delivery and return service? Do I want something I can mount to the wall or something…
