For my blog project, I have been focusing on the FIFA corruption scandal that started in 2010 during the World Cup in Africa. When I was researching blogs, many blogs were viewable however, most of the ones I clicked on were only the main post, they had never received any responses. I luckily found three blogs after a while of searching. The only downside is that the comments and posts on these blogs were not current for 2016. Many of the comments were posted roughly around the exact same time,…

Three years later, she defeated Japan, again, in order to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup. I think she is really…

in the different sports, they put in the same time, they practice just as hard and they don't get paid the same. This was first brought to the attention of the public by the U.S. women's soccer team. They thought it was unfair that they won the world cup and the men lost in the round of 16 but, the men got paid more. Most women sports is actually very new compared to the mens. They could only compete in the olympics in 1900. Also the WNBA only started about 15 years ago. My first reason that…
