Zdeno Chara isn’t about individual goals, or any bright, shiny trophies that don’t answer to the first name Stanley. But the Bruins captain is also unfailingly honest with himself and the media when he speaks, and even Chara admitted that scoring 20 goals this season and winning his second Norris Trophy are things that he would thoroughly enjoy. “I wouldn’t say that I’ve always wanted to do it, but it would be nice to reach 20 [goals]. It’s not on my priority list that I need to score two, or…

Cheerleading! All that school spirit has to be channeled somewhere! Abbi has been on the middle school cheer squad, the junior varsity cheer squad, and now the varsity cheer squad at the end of her freshman year. She may have physical limitations but never doubt her spirited personality. When asked about practice, this is one student who will always be available no matter…

The Calvin Knights football team has been undefeated since 1879. How is this spectacular feat possible? It has to do with the fact that Calvin does not actually have a football team. And I for one, believe it should stay that way. Despite the many sports fans at Calvin who crave one of America’s favorite past times, the school has yet to assemble a team. Both the Calvin board and others, including me, worry that creating a football team is not in the school’s best interest. The main reason…

competitive as they could be. In effect, this would mean that the teams will not be able to have the best players they could simply because a percentage of the positions is for domestic players, who are not necessarily the best. This could cause sports leagues to lose prestige and money. The Italian league’s case illustrates this point. It permitted only two foreigners in each team as a measure to give more…

Under the current bylaws of the NFL, no team can sell stock or public ownership in their franchise. Unless you are the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are the only team permitted to sell stock, because they were already selling stock before the NFL implemented the rule against it. This creates an enormous unfair advantage to the Packers over their competition in the NFL, and rule change needs to occur (Lariviere, 2011). The Packers have only publically sold shares of stock five times in the…

true? In reality, athletes earn what they deserve because they bring billions of dollars to their respective league, work hard in matters not involving their sport, find a way to manage all their money that they receive in a short time, and they work hard away from games to become better. First of all, athletes are not overpaid because of all the revenue they bring to the different leagues. The SIRS database says that the argument could be made that athletes are just playing a simple game and…

how empowered I feel now. HH and I belonged to the same organization, well known as The League. I am still a part of it, HH is not due to his struggles with confidentiality and integrity. But enough of that for now, we will revisit the topic another time. As for my journey, now that is one you want to hear, so keep reading my friends because you are in for a treat. But first you must remember one thing, the league must never know that I am allowing…

The college is a member of National Junior College Athletic Association, which provides the athletes with high college opportunities like scholarships. Lone star college should also have a program similar to this to help the students in their upcoming future. In 2010, Cam Newton who was a…

Back in middle school, I was a part of National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). We were the largest class to be inducted into NJHS. Being such a large class meant we would have to raise a lot of money if we expected to reach our goal. Our goal was to raise enough money for our trip to the Lead Conference at Washington, D.C. Only one NJHS chapter before us had raised enough money to go all the way to Washington, D.C. We were determined to reach that same goal, but things don't always go as planned.…
