'A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Atlantic'

279 Words2 Pages

My first topic/ issue is with the NFL and their team owners; the basic idea of this issue is how the NFL swindles the state and the taxpayers to buy them new things while on the other side the tax payers get bent over. In this article from “the Atlantic” it says how the Seahawks built a new stadium and the cost 560 million, 390 million which was tax payers money. They only pay 1 million for rent while the rest is just a profit to the team and the owners, the tax payers are paying a lot of money to build a new stadium while a lot of it is just going back into a billionaires pocket (Paul Allen). I don 't like it, I think paying guys millions to play football and act like idiots most of the time is ridiculous. Most of these guys are very uneducated

  • Staggering Amount Of Money On NFL Stadiums By Travis Waldron

    504 Words  | 3 Pages

    The article “Taxpayers Have Spent A 'Staggering' Amount of Money On NFL Stadiums” by Travis Waldron draws attention to two main points. First that American Taxpayers spent an estimated seven billion dollars to help construct twenty- nine of the thirty- one NFL stadiums in our country. This placed the risk of bankruptcy on the taxpayers rather than on the league whose annual revenue is more than ten billion dollars. Second, cities in America love their football teams and will spend very large amounts of money to keep their hometown franchises in place. The author finishes the article by saying, “That $7 billion figure will only continue to grow long after the NFL season begins Thursday night” (Waldron).

  • Rhetorical Analysis On Port Jackson

    541 Words  | 3 Pages

    Good Morning students and Mr Morrow and thank you for listening today. Port Jackson is all about “Opera, Aussie and Oarsome,” Straight away we have ‘A group of 3’ and ‘Play on Words.’ Group of 3 is a simple piece of persuasive language that is applied because humans like to use patterns and process ideas in patterns. However when the group of 3 is used the technique needs to be kept within reason because a group of 5 or 6+ gets really tedious and uninteresting after a while. Word Play is a literary device that is primarily used for amusement purposes only as it doesn’t have a persuasive effect like modality or rhetorical question.

  • New World Order Rhetorical Analysis

    119 Words  | 1 Pages

    Today, after going through the information revolution, the United States are planning or framing up ‘New World Order’ that is based on the three points that one is the military power which centered nuclear weapons in it, and second is holding dollars as a key currency, and also third is the occupation of English language as a computer language and common words. E.W. Said just commented about this point in his book ‘Culture and imperialism’ that after the Cold War it seems that in the ‘New World Order’ suggested by the United States government, with self-admiration, a victory declaration for show and a sense of responsibility exaggerated, most of rhetoric were preoccupied by a person’s words of Conrad described.

  • Explain Why The Yankee's Want To Build New Stadiums

    133 Words  | 1 Pages

    What I don’t agree with is cities giving massive tax breaks to teams that build new multi-billion dollar stadiums. We will never see the Yankee’s leave New York. Teams like the Yankees would be able to pay for a new stadium in a short amount of time and still provide jobs for the citizens. If athletes really wanted to win they would play for the league minimum and allow room for other great athletes to be able to play for the same team. Thanks for the post!

  • Chris Britt's Rhetorical Analysis

    287 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his untitled gun control and gun rights cartoon, Chris Britt establishes an accusatory tone using critical irony and a macabre diction to condemn the national threat disregarded by the Republican Party for ignorantly advocating unregulated licensing of guns. Chris Britt evidently displays, in his work, a frustrated sentiment towards the American federal government, specifically addressing the Republican Party. Deliberately, Chris Britt labeled the gun store as “GOP Guns and Gore” and highlighting that the store is “Open 24-7”. Bluntly, Britt specified “GOP” (“Grand Old Party”), interchangeably corresponding to the Republican Party, to emphasize his personal disdain against their party platform. Indisputably, through irony, Chris Britt exhibits
