Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. They have won 13 championships in their history and 4 of those are Super Bowls. Green Bay is a small town with a population of a little over 100,000 in the Northeastern part of Wisconsin, sitting right next to Lake Michigan. According to Brittanica, “One of the most-storied franchises in the history of the sport, the Packers have won the most championships, 13 in total, of any National Football League (NFL) team: nine NFL championships (1929–31, 1936, 1939,…

Free tuition, room and board, fees, any other expenses allowed by the NCAA, and benefits or incentives that student-athletes receive to entice them to play. The controversy whether athletes should be paid for their talents and dedication towards their school have increased in popularity over the past few years.

You may only be at a ball park to witness a no-hitter once in your entire life, if ever. But to be on the team that is throwing one, an even rarer accomplishment. The possibility of being the pitcher to actually throw the no-hitter itself, almost the rarest feat in all of baseball. Excitement, adrenaline, rushed through me every time I threw the ball to home plate, and knowing that I was one pitch close to keeping the opposing team hitless.

Abortion Would you take a life? Abortion is an extremely controversial topic, and I believe that abortion, the slaughter of unborn children should be prohibited.

Why don't college athlete get paid? Many people say they should others say elsewise. I'm aganist for paying college athletes. College atheltic programs can't afford to pay athletes. Playing college sports is a privilege. The NCAA is a nonprofit organization. Students are not professionals which most people need to know. Paying college athletes to play would ruin college sports. Another thing is there is not a fair way to pay college athletes. Paying students athletes will cause cuts elsewhere in…

Psychologist believe that being a professional athlete is one of the most challenging professions individuals can experience because they have to face a lot of pressures. The worst challenge they have to face is the pressure from the media which can modify the real story that happened to make it sound more interesting. Being a role model is a tough job because professional athletes are expected to personify all that is good in us, Our community and our Society because this is what we expect…

This story must begin with an understanding of how the Super Bowl has evolved. Though it has always been a big game -- the first edition placed enormous stress on a man named Vince Lombardi (and probably contributed to his early death in 1970 at age 57) -- the cultural significance of the Super Bowl needed time to emerge in American life. Accordingly, the weight of the Super Bowl wasn't larger than life at the beginning. The game had to become a cultural event. The empty seats for the first…

Chairwomen on the Committee of Economic Development. The committee managed to secure land from the federal government a portion of the Walter Reed campus, create 5,000 units of affordable housing for residents, and pass legislation for a new soccer stadium (dc.gov).
