Sports Reading and Writing
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
This year the New England patriots aquired Darell Revis. Revis is one of the most legendary corners in the game who can shut down almost any all star wide receiver. All New England fans and staff knew that it not Tom Brady and his legs dart offense but it's the defense with the weak secondary. We also lost Aquib Talib which is a dramatic loss and revis is going to have to step up. Hopefully the 11 million dollars will make it happen and potentially bring them to the Super Bowl to show off not just their offense but their defense too that we haven't really seen since the 2001 Super Bowl win.
Sports profile
Lebron James walks off the court in disappointment on game 5 showing how upset he really is about the game. James hit 17 the first quarter and went off thinking that the heat would make a game six. Duncan and the rest of the squad had other plans. With their dynamic teamwork they should great chemistry with ball movement and talking on and off the court. James and his team didn't stand a chance because of their lack of chemistry. Relaying on the King in regualar season may work but Duncan and friends knew they were the veterans and James also knew it would be a tough battle. At the buzzer James walked of discouraged knowing he will the not get the 3 peat on this father day which brought him down.
A league of there own
The only reason why women's softball and basketball have still survived in the pros is because they are very competitive and interesting to watch at all leva of the game. Women's sport have been decreasing the past decade because the majority of the nation agrees there should only be a mens league. I think the reason why is because men are a lot bigger and stronger them women. Not saying women are in athletic but genetically men are more talented. They are more mentally and physically stronger. So strong that the women can't top the men. With sports like football or just sports with a lot of contact. It's because the girls don't show power like men do that grabs the fans attention. But in sports like baseball anything can happen so that's why baseball sticks around.

The designated hitter in baseball
In Major League Baseball there is a designated hitter. There has been a designated hitter since April 6, 1973. Ron Blomberg was the first hitter. But in the National league there is no designated hitter. Instead the pitcher hits. There is many opinions on what should be the right thing to do. Some people believe that they should should leave it the way it is by having designated hitter in American League and having the pitcher hit on the national league. And the other people believe that whatever the decision is both leagues should have the designated hitter. In my opinion there should be a designated hitter for both the American and National League without a doubt.
The first reason why is because of talent. There are so many people in the world that have some shot at playing in the major leagues. And I don't believe it's fair for the national league to give up a position for the pitcher to hit who's bound to get out. And makes it unfair to those players who get cit because they need the pitcher to hit. What this also creates is a possible boring atmosphere for the fans. Since baseball is a low scoring game every hot counts. And I believe if all 30 teams had the designated hitter it would be more exciting. With having the designated hitter would create more power in a line up. They would provide more hits and home runs. And at the same time it's great for a pitcher because they have a better chance of getting the win of the dh is in the line up.
Another reason why the designated hitter should be required for every team is because of injuries. Every pitcher gets drafted just to pitch. Not to hit or play the field. They strictly train for pitching and only pitching. And with having a pitcher hit can lead to injury. The reason why is because they can either get hit by a pitch or pull muscles with an un mechanical swing. This would effect a franchise because of you an ace like Justin Verlander getting hurt then their franchise would be screwed all because a pitcher who is 1for 55 needs to hit. Like I said in my last paragraph if that was a dh who got hit by a pitch and was hurt it would effect the team but there is still so much talent out their that someone' else could fit the dh spot no problem.
This is why the MLB needs to strongly consider getting a designated hitter for the national league. It would be better for the pitchers and the fans. It brings safety for pitchers who wouldn't have to hit and have time to relax on between innings. It's also more exciting for the fans because they can watch there favorite dh have double his at bats and be able to get a lot more pop and offense in these low scoring baseball games. There's just so many good things by doing it. It's gives everyone a pro in it and would make everyone happy for all sorts a different reasons.

1.) What the authorities could do to handle Fallon Fox is have a back round check on her. This way they can know if its safe to fight her opponent.
2.) Transgender athletes do have a distinctive advantage over other athletes. Males are much larger and have a heavier frame then females which gives them superior advantage.
3.) I would not compete against a transgender athlete. Its not fair competition and I would rather live.
4.)Transgenders should have their own league. Not because of the way that they are but for safety reasons.

Which Activities are considered Sports?
The argument of what activities are
sports and what sports are and which ones are not is a tough debate. Many guys argue that dance/cheerleading is
not a sport. Girls believe that golf
isn’t a sport. In the end everyone has their opinion on their own specify
sports. But how do we know which ones are and aren’t? We will never come to the
conclusion though its people’s opinion and can never change. In my opinion I
believe that Volley Ball and Cross Country are not sports. I do believe that
all hobbies take skill that doesn’t come easy but to a competition stand point
not all are sports in my head.
Volley Ball is not a sport. It can get intense but I feel as if it’s more
of just a fun activity to do. The reason why is because it’s not a common offered
activity like baseball. For example there is Rec Baseball, All-stars, Legion and
many more. Where as Volley Ball is
offered at some high schools and then after that you have to go out of your way
to play volley ball. You would need to look for an expensive AAU Team that
probably travels a lot and realizing that the elite players would need to play
in the offseason it may be tough for other players. This to me is a reason why it’s not a sport. Not a lot of people offer which means it can’t
be popular but yet we always play it in gym as a fun activity.
Another activity that I don’t believe
is a sport is Cross Country. Cross Country
I believe is something that people do to get in better shape and to compete
with themselves. It’s a goal that your
trying to beat. When it comes to completion
as a whole I just don’t see it. What’s
the point of having a cluster of kids running out once. Why can’t they run at their own house
whenever they want for free. It’s
something that is something to do to get in shape for a winter sport. This is another activity that I don’t consider
a sport.

Red Sox Repeating Title?
Can the Red Sox be World Series Champs again? The Sox aren't off to the best start but its defiantly young in the season. Many players on the team are still consistently playing how they always play. There pitching staff is defiantly better then last year by giving up less runs. I don't think that the American League East is very strong. I think the Yankees are really old and are bound to collect the injuries until they brake down. I also believe Sabathia will have another poor season pitching and having over a 5.00 era. I think the Orioles will be the tuftest opponent with the Red Sox with their improved offense. Chris Davis will have a strong season as well as the whole outfield. The Rays and the Blue Jays I believe wont do much realizing the Rays lost pitching and how the Blue Jays still need team chemistry. For the rest of the league it will be tough once we get into the later rounds of the playoffs but I believe the Sox have the full potential to win yet again with their exciting team.
