Sixty years ago, if you saw me and my family in public, there is a great chance you would not recognize us as being a family. My dad, my mom, and my three oldest siblings are Caucasian Americans. My sister, my foster-brother, and I are all Black South Africans. I even have a brother-in-law who is Taiwanese and Paraguayan. There is a good chance that sixty years ago my family would not be out in public together. There is a good chance we would not exist. However, if we did exist as a family,…

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.

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.

Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation by Josh Carlin is an extraordinary read about a nation that no one ever thought would come together as one. As a politician of South Africa and eventually the president, Nelson Mandela, always seemed to know how to win others over. Not only would he win them over, he would develop a connection through his words that made the people feel adoring to his nature. The drive and motivation combined with the smooth talker he was led him…
