Jim Einhorn's Bowling

Improved Essays
With over 70 bowling centers operated by Army Morale, Welfare, and Recreation worldwide, you can hardly throw a rock on an Army post without hitting one. Bowling is a “lifetime sport that anyone can do,” according to Jim Einhorn of the Galaxy Bowling and Entertainment Center on Panzer Kaserne—which goes some way to explaining its popularity.
Einhorn knows something or two about the enduring appeal of the game. The former Army Europe Men’s Bowling Champion previously managed a facility in Heidelberg and started working as a pinsetter in a semi-automatic bowling machine as a teenager, earning twenty-five cents a line. He still bowls when he can these days, although he now spends more time assisting with league play in addition to other duties

    The rise of popularity in Bare-knuckle prize fighting mirrored the complications, contradictions, and swift changes in society of 19th century United States, as Elliot Gorn interprets in his monograph The Manly Art: Bare-Knuckle Prize Fighting in America. Despite the fact that prize fighting was never actually legalized, its popularity continued to grow from its introduction to America- as a result of Irish immigrants- and resulted in being one of the most popular sports throughout the nineteenth century, especially among working class males. Bare-knuckle prize fighting was not just a simple battle between two men, the fighting symbolized honor, class, and prowess. Although prize fighting tended to glorify violence in society, its cultural and social significance can not go unnoticed.…

    In the early to mid-1900’s sports journalism in America was quickly becoming more and more popular. Two of the most prolific journalist were Grantland Rice and W.C. Heinz.

    There is no question that in American society baseball is America’s pastime. Although, most American’s would argue that football has taken over as the most popular sport in America. But for those who truly admire the game, like me, would absolutely disagree. Watching two rival teams duel it out from the first pitch to the last, or a pitcher going for a no-hitter, nothing is more exciting. '' Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball,'' Jacques Barzun, the social commentator, wrote more than a quarter of a century ago.…

    Before a Citizen decides to join the U.S. Army they have a preconceived notion of what an Army soldier is, what an Army soldier represents, and how life as a United States Army Soldier will be like. They contemplate how their friends, family, and the public will perceive them when they wear the uniform. Past and present Army leaders have worked diligently to form and maintain an Army image of disciplined, well trained, and true professional soldiers. Over the past 15 years, this outstanding image of Army Soldiers has dwindled to an image of soft, undisciplined, and lazy soldiers who care more about themselves and less about what it means to wear the uniform. The Army has brought forth an idea to combat this growing problem with a campaign…

B. Reason to Listen: It has become a meme to insult the sport of cricket, and rightfully so. Cricket is not popular sport in America, and it will never be accepted as a major sport.…
