Student athletes bring in billions of dollars for their universities, but what do they get in return? The money brought in by these athletes never goes to their pockets, but instead to their universities and the NCAA.

Being a college football or basketball player can be a full-time job. These players invest their lives in the sport they play; some athletes can spend…

Over the years, statistical analysis has changed the face of almost every major sporting event during the twenty first century. This is especially true for America’s pastime, professional baseball. Since the beginning, scouts and other club executives bought and sold players based on a variety of attributes such as looks, physique, personality, and whether or not he is a multi tool ball player or not.

Donald Trump is doing what would normally be considered unthinkable. A normal politician running for any office, let alone President of the United States, would never skip a nationally televised debate days before the first votes are cast. But Donald Trump is no normal politician and this is no normal election cycle. His rallies are often filled with thousands and thousands of people often with a few protesters who falsely call him a racist, for all the previous debates his strategy has been…

with five minutes remaining hoping for a miracle comeback. A very lackluster performance as the Flyers didn’t manage a shot till the 8:11 mark of the third period. Losing their third game of the year to New Jersey, sitting them six points behind a playoff spot as the season winds down with just12 games remaining on this season.

Whenever his team lost, he always blamed himself. When he lost to teams in the playoffs, he went over to congratulate them. Most notably, Ray Lewis and Richard Sherman. Manning also had great contributions off the field, reaching out to families and friends who lost their loved ones. He also built a hospital in Indianapolis. How…

other to leave and it was a hard goodbye we knew that we had to support the other person’s decision. Being a fan to a sports team requires loyalty. You can't just leave your team if they replace your favorite player or if they don't make it to the playoffs because of a mistake the team made. Take for example The Green Bay Packers, if they let Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback, go and it cost the team the Super Bowl fans would be mad but because they are loyal to their team they would stand beside…

The Benchwarmers If you like hilarious, sporty, and entertaining movies, then The Benchwarmers is for you! The first time I watched the Benchwarmers about six months ago I automatically fell in love with it.I was able to find it on Netflix after someone told me that it was the best movie ever and that I would like it. Since then I have watched it four different times. The movie The Benchwarmers is rated PG 13. It was created in 2006, so it’s not too old. The writers are Allen Covert…

similar to Stalin forming the communist party and assuming complete control, the pigs in Animal Farm appointed themselves as the leaders and began to take on the notion, “All animals are created equally, but some are more equal than others”, which is a playoff on words from the American Declaration of Independence. Overall, through Animal Farm, Orwell argues that no matter how good Marx’s ideology was in his Manifesto, leaders will not always follow his exact ideology because of the lack of…
