Summary/Response for “Athletes and Education” In this article, “Athletes and Education,” Neil H. Petrie reflects on his life and uses his life examples to try to prove that the college athletic system is flawed. In the way that colleges use the athletes for entertainment, but when it comes to getting an education the students are cut short. 2Petrie presents that colleges are all talk when it comes down to their student athletes going to school for a good education. Petrie says that the pressures put on athletes compromises their academics. Also, the endless hours on the field which drains even the best students’ mentally and physically.
The National Football League is in contract negotiations with its players and is getting ready to do a player "lockout." If that happens, players won't be able to play, fans won't have a football season and local economies that rely on football will be devastated. The NFL and team owners don't appear to care what a lockout costs communities and fans -- they only care about their own profits. The NFL's set to make billions of dollars, even without a football season. But if they do that, players and fans lose.
Should College Athletes Be Paid? “…Three-quarters of a billion dollars built on the backs of amateurs – on unpaid labor” (Branch). In recent years, there has been much controversy over whether or not college athletes should be paid. The argument has primarily consisted of whether or not college athletes deserve special monetary treatment over the other students at universities. “College Football Players Deserve Pay for Play” by Rod Gilmore, “Why Student-Athletes Should Not Be Paid” by Kabir Sawhney, and “The Shame of College Sports” by Taylor Branch all voice their opinions on this argument.
The roman empire the economy system got weak. The economy system got weak because of the tribes and pirates outside of the empire disrupting the trade. Trying to expand to their limit, the romans had less of new sources like silver and gold. Extremely desperate for the new sources the government raised all of the taxes.

This is where I think polys fal victim sometime to if they make big money and sign those large NFL contracts. I know for a fact that some of the worst things to do with money is spend it away on unessessary things and for me it comes to me saying no to family. You can see that yes samoan culture is about
Not to mention the unhealthy factors. Stated by Michael Scott a well known writer, he said “Some athletes should just ask themselves one question: Do we really want to harm our bodies and tarnish the image of sports in order to be successful?”. Michael is exactly right because a game is just 60 minutes but injury can be a life time. If you live life for the moment then sports aren’t your thing. Because if you don’t prepare and save your body you are hurting your team and teams are what make
Goodman seems to believe it is the students and their parents, as Goodman states, “Perhaps the chief objectors to abolishing grading would be the students and their parents.”(p.213). I think parents main concern with abolishing grading would be the fact that they cannot see how their kids are doing in college. And I think a student’s main concern with it would be that they do not really know how they are going to be judged as far as knowledge of the subjects they are studying. Plus you have to take into consideration that they are the ones who are paying tuition (the reason the school runs in the first place). And in our society, testing has become the means for everything, even getting an entry level job.
These companies which profit off the impulses of the weak will no longer hold sway over our government like they do. James D. Scurlock wrote about the rising amount of influence the credit card companies hold in his article “Maxxed out”, “When it came time to testify, however, Trisha and Jane found themselves opposing the financial industry and its lobbyists, who were ‘discussing how much money they contributed to each congressman’s campaign’,” (Scurlock 154) For student loan debts we can bring back the near extinct concept of “Grants” which is where money is given, not lent, in order for students to achieve educational success. The money given from the government to the student pays for the student’s education so that when he is done with school, he goes out, gets a good job and makes society better in a little way. And when many make something just a little bit better, then the whole things starts to get noticeably better
The NFL has seemed to push these problems “under the rug” for the past 10 years. It would be in the leagues best interest to suspend these players before the media finds out in order to maintain a positive public perception. At the same time this would keep the individuals who don’t deserve to play off of the field. Players in the NFL are more fortunate than most. Therefore when an incident such as domestic violence occurs, it is magnified.
Rob Ford should not have been removed from office because the ruling was not fair, his actions was for good not evil, and i believe he should be guilty for what he have done but he doesnt deserve to be removed. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was plated guilty for Conflict of interest and was removed from office. He was plated guilty for using $3,150 of government money of transport donations for his football team. “ This entire matter began because I love to help kids play football. When this came to council for a vote, I felt it was important to answer the accusation that had been made against me.” Before the ruling was final, the result of conflict of interest include: • suspension from office for 120 days • Probation, under the supervision
