Cam Newton makes $53,000,000 a year for playing football. That’s $3,312,500 for one of his sixteen games. He is only one of the thousands of professionals being overpaid. I believe that professional athletes and performers should not make the amount of money that do on account of the other men and women who work harder, the money could be used in other ways, and trained athletes and performers influence kids in a negative way. To begin, professionals should not earn large sums of money…

Cadin Chaplin ¾ In 2009 75% of athletes in the NFL after 2 years of retirement are bankrupt. Athletes are overpaid to play something for “fun”, even some athletes seem to be paid limitless amounts of money to play sports. Most athletes pay is more than most people who are actually important.

People who devote their lives to try to make cures for cancer don’t even get half as much as a…

If the coming weekend was declared technology free, I would play football, soccer and I would master riding my motorcycle. I have never participated in a football league, but my dad used to play when he was in college. On the weekend I would ask my dad to take me to an open field and teach me how to pass and catch the ball properly.

When I was in elementary school I played soccer and was fairly good at it too. I was a fast runner and great both at chasing the ball and occasionally tricking the other team by kicking it backwards. I lost interest in soccer after a while, only wanting to attend the games instead of practices, and stopped playing. Years later, I attempted to pick it up again. My siblings and I all went to play homeschool soccer, and there were over a hundred kids in different age groups. I was 13 or so, and I…

It was my first season playing with Storm. I was excited to play because I knew it would help me develop my soccer skills and mentality of the game. So I went to tryouts and a week later my mom received an email that I had been placed the 02 Boys Black, one of the highest teams in the academy. I went to training and met my team. Two of my friends were on the team. Seeing the other kids play I knew how more talented they were than me. So I knew I had to step up my game. I was becoming more…

All Canadians like hockey, everyone in Alaska lives in igloos, and all homeless people are lazy and drug addicts. Assumptions make people think of people as just one thing, when they really aren’t; they are much more. Two famous authors, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Sherman Alexie clearly state how single stories block people's perspective, by showing them just one side of the story. They use their own experiences to show how assumptions relate to stereotypes. Even I made an assumption of my…
