With respect to EA, this discontinuous change comes in two forms. The first began in 2004, with the signing of an exclusive licensing agreement that would allow EA exclusive rights to all NFL and NFLPA properties, as well as similar agreements with the NCAA, and AFL. (Feldman & Surette, 2004)The signing of this agreement gave EA the exclusive right to create NFL games, which took form in “Madden”. This fundamentally changed the industry, as established franchises such as “NFL Blitz” from the now defunct Midway Games, had to be renamed to “Blitz: The League”, and could no longer feature NFL teams or players. (Dutton, 2011) Beginning with Madden 2006, EA was the sole producer of all NFL, NCAA, and AFL videogames until 2012. This is when the second discontinuous change takes effect. A class-action antitrust lawsuit was brought against EA by consumers, which resulted in a $27M payout to consumers who purchased a game by EA under these titles. EA also gave up exclusivity of the market. (Carter, 2012) With this lawsuit settled, the competitive nature was once again transformed, as other companies could sign licensing agreements with the various leagues, and EA would be forced into competition, and out of their monopoly over the football simulation market.

The arm was distorted and had a series of rectangular shapes to form the arm, which bass considered to represent drug addiction. Preminger however disagreed with Bass over which animated sequence with the arm looked the best. Bass argued that “the sequence fell flat without animation” but Preminger disagreed.

so long as they made it so poor people couldn’t afford to take time to play without reward, only the rich could practice and compete” (Deford 673). Deford defines this as the start of the idea of amateurism. The upper-class wanted to keep members of the lower-class out of their sports tournaments. By making sports compensation free, the upper-class was able to keep their sports to themselves. Later, when the NCAA was founded, they implemented the idea of amateur athletes competing for no pay.…

Field With soccer, football and basketball becoming so popular, track and field is being left in the dust. When several track and field events are only available to watch on websites such as ESPN3 or NBC Sports Live Extra, it lowers the viewership of the sport.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the highlights and stories of the track and field were national and athletes got more notoriety. Now, athletes…

In 1991, steroids were banned from Major League Baseball and in 2003 testing of the Major League Baseball players began. I think steroids should be let back into Major League Baseball because steroids can help with some medical injuries such as strained muscles or even broken bones, steroids would also give the sport more of an edge like Major League Baseball fans are looking for and because it is also wrong for people to think steroids are a bad thing when they have not experienced it.…
