New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been a strong proponent of an NFL end-zone replay camera. As of now, there is no end-zone replay camera, rather there is only a sideline camera. Although the sideline camera gives replay officials a decent perspective of the football play being reviewed, the sideline replay camera is not always perfectly reliable and sometimes the replay officials make the incorrect call. Belichick believes that if there was an end-zone replay camera as well as…

She’s actually the man, a girl has gone to shocking lengths to display her soccer talents while being deviously disguised as a boy. In a world class performance Viola Hastings has beaten the boys at their own game, as well as her previous boyfriend team by crashing to victory with a final goal that could only be described as aerial ballet in a game full of twists turns and excitement. Principal Horatio Gold said he couldn’t be prouder of his team’s performance against the opposition thugs who…

However, fans of the team believe it…

It is necessary for a team or league to make a code of ethics for its fans but I don’t think they are very effective. While it is good for teams to promote a positive fan experience for everyone that attends games, the unfortunate truth is that most fans don't read the code of ethics nor do some try to follow them. For some fans, yelling foul language or making abusive gestures is just apart of their experience. If you’ve ever seen or been to New York Jets games, you know what I’m talking about.…

In my paper, I tried avoiding just explaining what the Korean Armistice Agreement was because I felt like that was too easy as well required very little thought. I focused on the problems of the Korean Armistice Agreement because I have family that lives in South Korea as well I find the Korean Armistice Agreement to be very problematic for multiple reasons. I divided the essay by having each paragraph focus on a specific problem or two problems that connected with each other. The problems that…

up more than 15% of all deaths logged this year by an ongoing investigation into the use of deadly force by police. And then police departments across the country have the nerve to act so violently to peaceful protests, no, this must come to an end.

Should Wrestlers Protest on Ban; Yes Or No. “Illegal, inhumane and against human rights is just a little summary of Donald’s Trump ban. It violates and disregards our human rights. Most likely, because most people don’t know their human rights and what it means. What are human rights to you? According to some google findings, human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, sex, race, color, religion, language or any other status.
