Oakland Raiders

teams because of where they live. People are more prone to root for a team where they live because there is easy access to go anytime to the stadium and watch a game. They could also like the team where they live, because they do not want to take the risk of getting beat up by other people that like the other team. For example, it is not a good idea for a Browns fan to live in Pittsburgh. There is more of a chance to get your butt kicked. Also, if you lived in Oakland and went to a game, those fans are some of the harshest fans in the NFL. People may also like a sports team because of their color as each team has that color that just brings a person in. You want to have attractive colors, so that your fans will look good supporting those colors. Some fans even go as far as to have a room dedicated to that certain team or have their garage or basement painted in their team colors. For example, the diehard fans bleed “black and gold” as the fans in Pittsburgh would or “yellow and green” in Green Bay; “black in gray” in Oakland or “silver and blue” in Dallas. The true diehard fans in football for example, will leave their houses at wee hours of the morning in order to get that great parking spot so they can do the all American tail-gating. These fans go all out with their grills grilling food, drinks, snacks, some even go as far as bringing their corn hole boards out. The fans are dressed to kill, their vehicles are dressed to the nines too. There’s usually enough food to feed…

either chemically or receptor wise, things start falling out of place(Guy Gugliotta). Even Though every National Football League or NFL player knows going into the season or game they can get a concussion at any moment in time, the NFL should look more into protecting their players better because the number of days spent off the field after a concussion is not enough and the NFL needs safer equipment to protect them. Every NFL player knows going into the season or a game that they can get a…

they wished to release, and that we would not release on their behalf unless directed to do so. Each team has determined their course of action. The most I could do is to relay another request that came from you.” A former deputy mayor of Los Angeles, Fabiani, did not respond to several requests from The Associated Press for a copy of the application. Wednesday, Grubman stated to the AP that the only information the clubs were requiring to make public was the notices they have posted on their…

That year they won the Super Bowl and Damir wasn’t really showing his potential they were just hitting harder, meaner and his worst nightmare. The next season in a preseason game he tore his ACL and was out for the season. After physical therapy he came back the following season but was traded to the Oakland Raiders. That year he won the Super Bowl, now he was really getting to understand the NFL. He was with the Oakland Raiders for 2 more years before getting traded to the San Francisco 49ers.…

It was a warm fall day. A grey Dodge minivan was driving along the plains of Nebraska. The destination of the vehicle was Denver, Colorado. More specifically they were going to a Denver Broncos football game between the Broncos and the Oakland Raiders. I was in the vehicle with my Mom, Dad, and some family friends whose names were Martin and Michelle. We were trying not to let the monotonous drive dwell on our spirits as we told jokes, listened to the radio and took the occasional nap. As…

Logos, or logic, involves looking for arguments that make sense in a piece. Amy Tan’s essay is very logical. It makes complete sense, and is simple to understand. Being that it is a narrative, she uses examples to back up her statements about English. She tells the stories of her mother dealing with the stockbroker and the hospital as means to make her point clearer. Ethos looks at the author’s credibility. Tan is a well-known writer, and does a lot of public speaking. We can trust her…

My childhood was not easy; it consisted of struggling through a broken home. As a young child I dealt with a drug addicted mother and a life filled with poverty in Oakland, California. My mother was addicted to crack cocaine, and could never keep a steady job due to her addiction. There were times in our lives where my brother and I went without food, water, or electricity. My father and mother divorced when I was still a toddler, and he was rarely present and provided no financial support.…

The movie Fruitvale Station is a strong movie that emphasizes the struggle of the poor-minority community, shows the prejudice that the police in our everyday society have, and walks through the life of Oscar Grant III, 24 hours before his murder. The ethnophaulism that is used is both derogatory and uncalled for; As well, the prejudice that someone encounters on a daily basis is unbelievably sad. The struggles of minority people in the United States often disregarded, and the outcome of hate…

My educational background and volunteer experience has broadened my knowledge and has increased my depth of understanding of…
