The NFL (National Football League) is the most anticipated, and exciting sport to watch in America. The players of the league get just as amp up to play the game. The real reason these players play the game is to hold up the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season; to be named the Super Bowl champions, also knowing you’re the best of the best. Everyone does their role to be successful at the end and to be deemed the last man standing. The process is not just a breeze in the wind, you will have…

Concussions in Football: A Deadly Number “What a big hit on the football field on this frigid Friday night. It looks like he is down for the count.” I often hear something similar to this when watching a hard hit in a high school, college, or even an NFL football game.

asked to identify central bioethics themes present in the film Concussion. Initially, I identified three main themes that highlight bioethical issues within the film. The first theme was organization v. individuals, which represented the National Football league’s monetary interest in looking out for itself, instead of protecting the overall health and safety of its athletes.

but nothing else. The majority of football and basketball players can not afford food, and some can’t even afford college. Getting a full scholarship is undoubtedly a very valuable opportunity for the players to have a fantastic education, but many division one student athletes go for sports rather than education.

This ad has a total run time just above two minutes which showed beautiful pictures from ten well established photographers. The photography was tough to beat, but the ads true power is dedicated to the…
