Football hooliganism

Could you imagine making millions upon millions doing what you love? Well that’s what professional athletes do. They make more money than they know what to do with. Professional athletes should not be paid as much as they are. The people and fans going to watch them and support them, can hardly afford a ticket. Don’t forget about the famous ballpark hot dogs either, but those will cost you an arm and leg. Of course, you need a souvenir so people know you were really there. It will all start…

Playing extreme physical sports, like football, can cause major injury. This not only includes the body, but the brain as well. Brain injury is very common. Brain injury can lead to mental illness and physical illness. Brain injury is caused by concussions. Each time a football player gets hit they receive the equivalent of a thirteen pound bowling ball going twenty miles per hour at their body, and head.…

I would like to focus on the National Football League. The National Football League is a multi-billion dollar business that is projected to reach $13 Billion in 2016 (Forbes). Keeping that statistic in mind, the athletes are paid a substantial amount due to the success of the National Football League. As a result, the general population believes that professional athletes, football players, are grossly overpaid. The average salary in the National Football League is $1.9 million. Although that…

College athletes already receive free tuition, free books, first pick of classes, and a personal tutor. On average, it will cost a student about $30,000 to attend a private college, and $10,000 to attend a public college. If you are a college athlete, you enter college for free. Along with free tuition, college athletes also receive the first pick of class. Colleges desire that athletes get a sterling education along with their athletic adventure. Guidance counselors allow athletes to…

involved sports. I dated this girl for a while, and I go to the football games at her school, she was in band. But what I started noticing was the team never seemed to win, and I leaned that one reason was most would go out smoking weed before the game. Most of the main players in Dixies Greyhounds team hung around each other, and also smoked together which impacted the whole team. Also most of the band would meet up and hang out with the football team and smoke, mostly weed but also there…

Two Sides to Every Argument There has been many discussions on salaries of athletes, if they are paid too much for what they are worth. There is many factors deciding the salaries of players such as their value towards the team in winning or skill, insurance, or when they finish their careers, they have nowhere else to go most of the time, because they had spent a significant time of their life in sports. Professional athletes over time have been receiving big salaries due to the impact and…

Pricing Limited Supply, High Value Positions: Toronto Raptors 2015 Executive Summary July 2015 marks the time when the Toronto Raptors will have six free agents on the team. In light of the fact that the center position is considered the most important position combined with the fact that the two center players that have been signed are rookies, there is an implicit problem facing Dwane Casey as well as the managers of the only Canadian basketball team in the NBA. That problem is what to offer…

Professional athletes are overpaid. Society knows that. It is outrageous that athletes get paid millions of dollars just to entertain fans. Athletes are overpaid. Do they deserve that much money? One reason is their financial issues. You don’t hear about bankruptcy in the real world that often, but these athletes have been fighting for every penny. Kenny Anderson, a former basketball player complained about insurance for eight cars! Who has eight cars these days! Not the average person.…

Should everyone get a trophy? Youth athletes should not get participation trophies. Participation trophies are a waste of scarce funds. Receiving participation trophies discourages youth athletes and tells them that if they do not try they will still get an award. On the other hand some people believe that spending a few dollars to see a kid smile is worth it. Trophies should only be given to the youth athletes that do the best. Participation trophies are a waste of scarce funds.…

having these sports? Well the answer to that question really is not that much. In 2010 the average net revenue of division one college football was 3.15 million, but 43 percent of the schools in division one had an average net revenue of 2.87 million in losses (Chua). This is because the schools that play in the bowl games end up spending more to play the football games then what they would make in the end. So after all the money is distributed over the college for paying the coaches and paying…
