...guidelines and seek ergogenic aids, to include banned substances in order to win. Winning or losing determines a continuous paycheck, scholarships, athletic contracts and sponsored endorsements.

The same reasons stand today. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH) reveals that the most commonly abused drugs include tobacco, alcohol, cannabinoids, opioids, stimulants, club drugs, dissociative drugs, hallucinogens, prescription medications and other compounds (2011). In a 10 year study between 1993 and 2003, 12.8 was the average age for abusing substances (The DASIS Report, 2006). Reuters also revealed that there is less use of drugs but an increase in alcohol use among young athletes in high school (2011). Young athletes are still developing and can have insecurities about their bodies. This can be due to pressure among their peers, personal expectations and comparing themselves to others (Mayo Clinic, 2013). USA Today reports, “according to a survey by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, steroid use among high school students more than doubled between 1991 and 2003. More than 6% of 15,000 students surveyed admitted trying steroid pills or injections. At the same time, less than 4% of the nation's high schools...

The company has been part of the wave that is taking this industry into the future in terms of how consumers are interacting with home video entertainment in particular. In general, we can observe that consumers are increasingly demanding more instant and personalized experiences when watching video entertainment as well as more mobile availability. There seems to be a “when I want it, how I want it” type of movement among consumers with declining interest in DVD’s and scheduled television programming and increasing use of online streaming or rental alternatives.

It is important to note how the public perceives and values films as an entertainment source here in...
