Notre Dame football coach, Knute Rockne, says this quote that is true in today's sports world. He states in his quote, practicing sportsmanship is more important than just teaching it. When I was younger, playing T-ball, teaching sportsmanship is what everyone did. The coaches, the parents, the umpires, and even the other players, it was always about having fun and being fair. Most of the time not keeping score was the norm. However, as athletes grow older this mentality quickly changed. Today,…

There are three types of bailments; bailment for the sole benefit of the bailor, bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee and mutual benefit bailment.

The bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee is when the bailee asks to use the bailor’s property for personal use. The bailee owes a duty of utmost care to protect the…

The video is a documentary who lives among the one percent. He has lived around wealth his entire life and has decided to document the wealth gap. He goes around interviewing people on both side of the spectrum to get their point of view on things. He gets into clubs using his family’s name and tries to interview his father various times but he declines even though he himself made a film about the poverty in Africa when he was younger. What stood out to me was that the average one percenter…

Greek life on college campuses is an effective way to ensure that students get the most out of college, and all that it has to offer. Greek organizations actively challenge students to be a well educated, and active part of the surrounding community. However, some view fraternities and sororities on college campuses in more of a negative light due to stereotypes and generalizations, influenced by the media. Many of these stereotypes are untrue, and often over exaggerated. Greek life has many…

I think it’s a good idea because we have all the football players that think there better than everybody. The coaches think there a lot better than everyone and can do whatever they want and no one can say anything about it. The basketball players are always on the same team in gym class and that is not fair. I think all the players would get mad and the fans would to but then everyone might work instead of sitting and watching sports. If all sports were gone there might be more fights. The…

where I know my athletic ability and hard work could get me so much further. The main reason I attended St. Thomas University my freshman year was due to the fact that it was a free education. I can't afford college unless I earn scholarships to pay my way through school. My family doesn't have the money to send me off to out of state or private schools so I worked hard to earn the money on my own. The scholarship I earned at St. Thomas University was both academic and athletic. I not only play…

Does everyone get a trophy Have you ever played in a league that gives away participation trophies. Many youth sports are giving them away for money. Even though people play to get a trophy, you have to win it. These trophies make parents angry and send back the trophy, they are not necessary, you have to win a trophy not get one. On the flip side they make people come back so they get money. Trophies do not make room for mistakes to be made and learn from them. For example , you have to…

An editor of the official ESPN website said that the National Basketball Association (NBA) set their salary cap at $70 million, at a record 11% increase in 2015 (ESPN). The $70 million is spent just to sign free agents, and some athlete’s salaries only amount to that much! The National Football League (NFL) told sports reporter…

Upping the Ante: Teens Should Participate in Athletics Self-centered, arrogant jocks and superficial, ditzy cheerleaders or driven, motivated athletes who avoid typical high school pitfalls: you be the judge. Sometimes participating in high school athletics is not given the wide-ranging acclaim that it deserves. Not only should athletes be recognized for their performance on the field, but also off the field; this includes their ability to balance athletics and academics. Students in sports…
