say whatever is on your mind. No matter how ignorant, smart, or flat out stupid it is. Everybody who is a citizen of this country has a freedom to protest the government in a lawful and peaceful way. Unless you mess with the national sport of American Football. Then you can keep your thoughts and protesting shenanigans out of here and shut up. Ironic coming from the land…

As I arrive home from football practice, it was just a normal night, all the neighbors are headed inside.That’s when I see a figure in the distance and it has a human figure to it with beady red eyes, and it has a strange aura around it. As I start to think to myself what to do, I start to walk to it, not realizing what the suspicious figure is, and the figure does the same. We trayed eye contact until that very moment I see headlights, and then the figure was gone in flash. As I stand in the…

Flavian Amphitheater, best known as “Colosseum”, is the Rome’s greatest arena which is built mainly for the purpose of holding large sports event. As history records indicate, the Colosseum can hold around 50,000 spectators at a time, which means the Colosseum is at least twice the size of the Oracle Stadium of Golden State Warriors. There are many fun facts about the Colosseum, according to the book “Art: a Brief History,” author Marilyn Stokstad described the cruel opening performance in…

that the apparel of an sports person varies according to the sports they plays. It is very much obvious when one talks about the shoes. For example the spiked shoes are mainly contrived for playing baseball. It is quiet impossible for anyone to play football with the spiked shoes that are meant for playing baseball. So it is very much apparent for weightlifting that there should be a different kind of shoes. It has been considered in the world of sports that the weightlifting shoe is sort of…

dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball!”, Patches O'Houlihan once said this in the movie Dodge Ball. For those of you that have not seen it, I will fill you in. The movie opens up with a a commercial for a gym owned by White Goodman. He owns Globo Gym American Corp., making the gym a lifestyle. To describe Mr. Goodman, think of a cocky guy that is selfish and has to have everything his way. Next to Globo gym lies another gym, but nothing like Globo. The gym next door is called Average Joe's…

Over many years, concussions have become more common in athletes than ever before.

It was the end of my sophomore soccer season on Junior Varsity. We didn't win a single game and got blown out by large margins game after game. It hurt me to leave the field on our last game with so little success in the entire season. I was deeply disappointed and wanted deep down to have more success . I knew next year was different I was going to pour my heart and soul and make the Varsity and move on from this year. Thats what I did the next summer I showed up and early to every day of…

Did you know that football is the #1 high school sport in the United States? Maybe not for long though. There are imposers who want to ban football from being a high school sport because it causes too many concussions. I disagree with this idea because if a student wants to play, they should be aware of anything that could happen. Also, there is the same chance of getting injured in any other sport. Not just football. If we ban football from being a sport, players would have no practice for the…

the ball!” After hearing those instructions from coach I trotted onto the field with 1:22 left in the Decorah football game. Since our defense held them on 4 straight downs we had a second chance and we were going to take advantage of it. We were down six points and we could win the game with a touchdown and a successful two point try. If we win this game we would be crowned freshman football district champs! Reaching the huddle, I bellowed a few words of encouragement followed by the play,…

Thank you!” I pumped my fists and gave my parents a hug, which was a strange occurrence in itself. Before anyone could say anything else, I ran out the front door grabbing my football gear, a worn football and pads, and bolted to John’s house. I pounded on his door until he came out, which he didn’t appreciate, but I was too joyful to care. “What are you so wound up about?” He said when he opened the door. “My parents said I can play sports…
