...I hate rain. I do not like rain because it pretty much ruins everything. Like sports or family events but snow is another thing. Snow is fun because you get to play in the snow and do a lot of things like snowball fights or building a snowman. My favorite is summer because that's when my birthday is and also that's when you can do a lot of stuff like sports, swimming, playing outside, and just hanging out with friends. In the summer I play baseball. Baseball is my favorite sport. I have been playing baseball since I was 4 or 5. It is a very hard sport. You have to work hard at it. One of the things I hate about baseball is getting hit by a pitch. I have probably been hit about 30 times in baseball since kid pitch. My worst one was getting...

...Should kids be able to play dangerous sports? Many people argue that kids shouldn’t be able to play dangerous sports because it can cause a kid to brake a bone or get a concussion. The other side argues that they should be able to play it because parents should be able to make the choice not the government. There are also people who don’t mind dangerous sports but wont let their kids play them. I think that they should be allowed to play them to a extent meaning they can play something that is too crazy but should be able to play things like tackle football. Many people will put their kid into something like flag football to bypass tackle football because they think it is dangerous. But according to Stanford health they both get the...

...using only a few words, most would probably use something relating to “Sports Fanatic”. My favorite organized sport to play is baseball, my favorite to watch is football, and my favorite to participate in with friends is basketball. There is always some type of professional or college sport going on at all times throughout the year. I love to keep up on all of my favorite teams ranging from baseball, basketball, and football. I keep up on these sports both at the collegiate and professional levels. For the most part I know the important statistics of the top players from each league. Sports take up a huge portion of my life. I would be willing to talk to anyone who knows about sports and are willing to talk about them with me. Every day there is something relating to sports that go on in my life whether it is playing some type of sport, playing a video game that involves a sport, or watching ESPN or a sporting event on television. My friends and I love to get together at least one time during the week and usually on the weekends to play basketball. We are always trying to get as many people as possible together to go to the West Jay Community Center to play basketball. We use sports as a way to enjoy time together and communicate with each other. During the summer, people can find me at the park on the basketball courts, playing catch or hitting on the baseball diamonds, or in the open field playing football. When there are not enough people that can play or the weather...

...president had a tough task, but he united his efforts with the captain of the team, François Pienaar (Matt Damon), so they could make the whole population believe in the team and support it together, just like a nation should do. Apartheid was a severe form of segregation of black and white people in South Africa during part of XX century, creating a feeling of hate between the two racial groups. Mandela not only ended this system, but also tried to avoid revenge from the black, that suffered so much prejudice during so many years, creating a feeling of compassion and respect between everyone in his country. Mandela knew he had a very difficult job to do and he decided to speak with the small rebel groups to teach them that only with respect and compassion they would be able to live in peace with other racial groups. The president decided to unite people by making they support the same rugby team (Springboks), so his priority was convince those who used to spread hate against the team to start supporting it. He left a very important meeting at the moment he found out there were a few persons at the Nacional Sports Council about trying to change the Springboks into a new team, because for them, the old team represented the apartheid. On his way to the...

...For me, the game of basketball has always been a sanctuary. It's been a place where I've been able to escape and find peace,” said Michael Jordan. This sentiment resonates deeply with many athletes who turn to sports as an escape from the everyday hardships of life. In Richard Wagamese’s novel Indian Horse, the protagonist Saul’s journey mirrors this sentiment. Amidst a plethora of trauma, discrimination, and struggles to forge his identity, Saul discovers hockey as not just a game but a refuge. However, this refuge proves to be unsuccessful due to severe limitations. Saul’s journey demonstrates that sports can provide an immediate escape from reality. But they ultimately fail to offer lasting refuge from trauma, systematic racism in sports, and personal identity struggles....

...When it comes to sports bars the first restaurant that comes to mind is Buffalo Wild Wings. Known for their delicious chicken wings and an excellent sports viewing experience. The Buffalo Wild Wings located on Twin Lakes Avenue in Marysville is my go to place when I want to hang out with my friends. I have been coming here since it first opened in Marysville in June 2013. In fact, I waited in line for multiple hours to be one of the first 100 customers to dine inside the restaurant. As one of the waitresses awarded me my “free wings for a year” coupon book I entered the building. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door are the large amount of TVs that line the walls of the restaurant. During big sporting events, the audio from the TV can be heard, unfortunately on a normal day they will just have background music playing. The wait time to get seated has always been under 10 minutes for me; however if you come during a Seahawks game it is almost impossible to get a table. After you are escorted to your table by the host, you will be greeted by your table captain. The table captain is unique to Buffalo Wild Wings. The captain is in charge of making sure all of your needs are met such as the games you want to watch....

...football as soccer. Although I hate calling football as soccer I know that most of audience is Americans and what they call football isn't football. (As a sports admirer I watched American football matches and kind of like the game but I am against a game played with hands being called football:) There are two kind of people soccer lovers and basketball lovers. What is the differences between those two games. (I can hear you saying: "One is played with foot, other with hands.":) * Soccer is more of a team work. A team playing in great harmony is more likely to win over a team with one super star. * Basketball is a game of superstars. One man can change everything. (Michael Jordan. No other word needed to say) * Soccer is a game of strategy spread over all 90 minutes, leaves not much room for suprises. * Basketball is a game of breaking points. The whole course of the game can change in last 10 seconds. * Soccer can be played by anyone. It doesn't matter how tall or muscled you are. Every kid can dream of being a soccer star. * Basketball is for big guys. If you are short you can dream of being a basketball critic. * Soccer can be played everywhere. I remember playing with crushed coke cans as ball and goal made of two stones. * Basketball needs equipment. You have to have good ball and a hoop at least. * Soccer is an outdoors sport.You can play soccer in green fields or under snow. * Basketball is an indoors sports. You have to find a good weather...

...Yankees in 1973 and continued to lead them into the depths of greatness. With the help of managers Joe Torre and Joe Girardi, the Yankees appeared in every playoff from 1995 to 2010, except for 2008, and also won five world championships during that time (“Yankees”). Whether you love or hate them, their winning record is undeniable. My skeptical audience is baseball fans. Many baseball fans dislike the Yankees with a passion. The problem most people have with the Yankees is the way they spend their money, or in other words how they “buy championships”. If the Yankees are willing to pay big money, it is much harder for smaller, less-profitable teams to compete for baseball talents. Which means fans must watch their hometown teams continue to diminish, while bandwagon fans support and spend money on the Yankees. While many baseball fans hate the Yankees, I argue they should believe that the Yankees are not an evil baseball dynasty by showing that the Yankees are “America’s Team”, they subsidize less-profitable teams, and that an owner should be able to spend his money however he chooses. The New York Yankees are a symbol for baseball; they represent winning, pride, and while many people hate them they still have a huge fan base and...

...The Direction of Sports As a sports fan I am concerned about the directions sports have taken. Sports in general have been headed in the wrong direction for some time now. They still have a lot of time to change. They need to act quickly though if they want to solve the problem. Every major sport seems to have a problem. Baseball had their huge problem with steroids, basketball has a reputation of its players being thugs, but football seems to have no major problem. Many of these problems have not only affected the leagues, they have affected the youth all across America. Like the problems the solutions are very diverse. I love all sports, and I would hate to see them become disgraced. Baseball which is my favorite sport has had the most trouble in the past couple of years. Their decline started with the steroid scandal involving Barry Bonds. When a player that big in the game is going after a cherished home run record and there are scandals surrounding it, there is going to be some turmoil. It wasn’t just Barry Bonds fault and the people involved in the scandal, it was also baseball officials fault for not doing anything when they knew about the things going on in baseball. They turned their back to the problem because at the time baseball was doing well and they didn’t want to disrupt that. Baseball was forced to act because of the scandal. They put in a steroid policy that was laughable compared to the steroid policy of the Olympics. Baseball would like...

Although he broke through as the first African American to play major league baseball, many still thought it wasn’t right for him to be playing because of the color of his skin.
