Sports Team Persuasive Speech

507 Words3 Pages

This past week, Josh Norman, an immensely popular and talented football player, became a free agent and decided to sign with a new team. That new team just happened to be the Washington Redskins, who rewarded him with a guarantee of over 50 million dollars. What I don’t understand, however, is how a professional sports team is called the ‘Redskins’. Growing up, I have always been a huge fan of sports, both as a spectator and a participant. Starting in the 7th grade, we were required to wear a shirt and tie to school the day of a game. This was required for all the sports teams I played on, which included basketball and baseball. I was always curious as to why we had to dress up so nicely for games, and I always received the same response from my coach; when we play other schools, we are representing our school and what it means to be a student there. Thus, in order to be a strong representation, we must be well-dressed (among numerous things), to highlight our commitment to seriousness. Our sports teams were directly affiliated with our school, and we wanted to do our best to be valuable community members. This brings me to my next point because as my …show more content…

However, there doesn’t seem to be much change. This is beginning, for me, to become a question of ‘why?’. Why is that I am still such a big fan of a league that doesn’t punish players too badly for crimes? Or a league that seems to ignores the offence it has given to many around the country? This, of course, is all personal. I don’t blame people for being fans of the NFL. I love football, but I think I am starting to become more aware. Because if this doesn’t change, this just continues to represent our nation. It says America doesn’t care too much about domestic violence, or that America doesn’t care too much about others’ feelings. I don’t think that’s true, yet that is just how the NFL is starting to paint

  • Rule Changes In The NFL

    658 Words  | 3 Pages

    Generally people think that the NFL should adjust the game, and its rules to increase player safety, statistics clearly show that too much adjusting has been done and the NFL is suffering because of it. Too many rules have been changed for player safety and the current changes being discussed, like getting rid of the kickoff, are going to far and the game is not like it was. Players sign contracts and are aware of the risks they put themselves at when playing the game of football at a professional level. Referees are throwing more flags and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, is handing out a record high of fines. These adjustments by the National Football League are going too far and some rule changes need to be reverted back to their previous rules.

    On September 26th 2014, Derek Jeter took his final swing at the most prestigious Yankees Stadium in front of thousands and millions of baseball fans and ended up winning his final home game. The crowd went ballistic over the RBI and chanted “Derek Jeter” while raising signs that read “Salute to the Captain”. At that very moment, people viewed Derek Jeter not for what race he fell under or for what kind of person he was or for the ladies he slept with, but the athlete who electrified the diamond every time he stepped on it. Roberta Newman wrote an article on (Branding Derek Jeter, Redefining Race) companies such as Movado and Avon on how they showcase Derek Jeter “as neither black nor white and so can relate to everyone” (Newman) as a turning

  • High School Athletes Persuasive Essay

    While some believe that athletes should have their own choice at making a decision to go pro straight out of high school, they should not do so because they will not be able to manage their million dollar contracts respectively. Speaking of contracts, the NBA should eliminate guaranteed contracts for rookies drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. They should do this because a careless high school kid, could just go into the draft not knowing, or caring on how much they are going to make, with the lack of experience on handling millions of dollars. This is very unrepsonsibible for a teenager, and not only for the high school athlete, but also for the basketball association as well. This is because of there noncommitment to have these players

This is because it will help them get food if their really hungry, gas money if they drive and in case of an emergency if they get hurt. “There are hungry nights that I go to bed starving,” said former University of Connecticut star Shabazz Napier. This bill will affect many american college athletes around the entire country because their are a lot of college athletes out here trying to survive on their own because they are living on campus right now and not with their own loving parents to support them any longer.

    Nothing to Cheer About Many people now consider cheer a sport but is that enough to change the minds of the Universal Cheer Assocation? Even though cheerleading has been around for quite a while many people still do not consider it a sport. The disorganization and sexism in the past kept it segregated from other sports making people believe it does not qualify for the title of a sport. In the recent years it has been up for debate to be part of the Olympics after 2020, so does that not mean it is hands down a sport (Schultz).
