Observations from the Firing Range I decided to take a friend and try out a firing range that had some extensive renovations completed recently. Previous visits were a disappointment, to say the least, but the new management had promised a new look and new experience. It was a quasi-private range that required membership and residency in the village to use. Residents could bring guests for an additional fee. Part of the property owners dues that residents paid to the village were used for the…

has played a dangerous sport, and possibly got hurt from it. Like Jeb Golinkin in the article, “Why Parents Should Let Their Kids Play Dangerous Sports.” Golinkin makes an argument about whether children should play dangerous sports or not. Although Golinkin’s does supplies ample amounts of suppurating evidence his end clam is not supported in the article. To quickly summarize: Golinkin’s main point in the article is persuading parents to let their children play dangerous sports. Golinkin…

In the Victorian Era their entertainment was different for kids, women and men. Only some sports were enjoyed by men like drinking, gambling, and billiards. There were men who would play card games to the extent of losing all their money. Men also played outdoor sports like shooting, cricket, and fishing. In 1871 the first ever football association was played. After that many football clubs started to pop up. Although they were primarily organized by churches to encourage people to attend…

and soccer a blur? Not to worry, these two sports however complex they may appear will be sized up against each other. To understand any sport, one must understand that there are standards each individual sport has that not only players but also staff, such as coaches, must follow. Furthermore, each sport has different popularity levels and locations. Finally, the gear used during a game is different for each sport. It is difficult to compare the two sports’ rules since the rules have no…

Assessment Sports have been a popular activity for as long as time. Sports similar to lacrosse and soccer were played by native people millions of years ago. So why is it now that many think sports are bad? Lately, sports have been getting a bad rap. Injuries are one factor that have caused many to believe that sports are dangerous and that schools should not continue to fund them. There may be some downsides to sports, but there are far more benefits. Schools should continue to fund sports…

What constitutes a sport? I believe, a sport is an activity where the mind and body are challenged. For example, we all know basketball, football, baseball, and soccer all fit under the category of being a sport. However, we get into more of a deeper question when we think about poker, chess, swimming, or ice dancing. In my opinion these would be considered competitions rather than a sport. I believe that if you are competing against another person or team and this activity requires strategy or…

Ones self is competitive in life and sports. Many times during the hours of the day I am competing with my friends. Whether it would be shooting basketballs, seeing who got the better grade in class, or during baseball. For me it started when I was three years old, my parents put me in baseball. One day after a game, I told my parents I did not want to play anymore because they did not know how to play and I wanted to win. The competitive side always comes out no matter what age. It is something…

arts or sports? This is a tough choice that is very common in schools throughout the U.S. Most school boards would look at this question and quickly give the answer of, “Sports are more important because the majority of the school likes going to games and supporting the athletes. Art class is just a place for students to doodle, and most of them just take that class because they don’t have anything else to do.” Even though not every student enjoy playing basketball or going to games, sports are…
