Case Study The Nfl

Over 10 years ago and beyond, male football athletes were intolerant to female reporters and writers in the game. Some ask, “How is this going so well.” Jen replies saying, “I treat them as people as much as I do players, and I actually know what I am talking about”. Reports from the cardinals players say that she was a pleasure to have on the field. Now jen says, little girls can have the dream of becoming a coach in a sport they love.

1. Discuss the factors that have resulted in the NFL becoming “America’s Game” and the

Among the terms of the agreement is that the settlement is not to be regarded as an admission of guilt by the league." The NFL knows of the dangers the players are in. The rules change but the equipment increased. Without more or better equipment the players are still in danger. In a PBS Frontline documentary about injuries in football Dr. Robert Stern said," In football, one has to expect that, almost every play of every game and every practice, they're going to be hitting their heads against each other. That's the nature of the game. Those things seem to happen around 1,000 to 1,500 times a year. Each time that happens, it's around 20 g or more. That's the equivalent of driving a car at 35 miles per hour into a brick wall." The players in the NFL know the risk of playing but it is up to the NFL to make the sport safe for the players. Many people may argue that since the players know the risk and they are paid for their athletic performance is ok. However you cannot put a price on a person health. There is no way of rationalizing the behavior of the NFL. Yes, the athletes are paid to perform, but it is up to the NFL to make the sport safer. The NBA has increase rules and is aggressively making the sport less physical. In a Radio interview with XTRA 910 a Phoenix, AZ, Former NBA player, Robert Horry said, "… If you

The National Football League has made many people rich, but it is not short of problems, controversy and appauling storylines. The two weaknesses I can identify are issues in player discipline and player health. The NFL is inconsistent in how it disciplines its players. Some have reframed this as an “league image” issue caused by reckless however the statistics support that the league itself is equally to blame for the bad reputation. According to independent research, McCann (2014) states, “The NFL’s punishment of personal conduct violations has been inconsistent and on average less harsh than its punishment of drug offenses” . There are

The NFL has decided not to directly address the mental health problems of current and former players in fear of negative publicity and financial consequences league wide. Also, they have not compensated players for their injuries or put in enough time or effort to improve the conditions for players. These things are deemed unethical, because in a sense by being injured, these players are being stripped of their freedom to do things the way that they want. Also, the NFL is putting the greed for money over the health and well being of the community.

Ladies like Becky Hammon, Spurs assistant coach, Nancy Lieberman, Kings assistant coach, Jen Welter, Cardinals assistant coaching intern, and Kathryn Smith, Bills special teams quality control coach, have made their mark that females can coach in male dominant sports. Stereotypes are a widely labeled image or idea of a person or thing and a misconception is formed from a stereotype but based on an opinion that's incorrect because it is based on faulty thinking. The reason why we have stereotypes and misconceptions are because people judge others based on what they see over and over again and they just assume that everyone's like that. This is way there's barely any female coaches because people think that if a female coached they won’t be taken

The significance of my findings is that fans of the NFL believe that more sufficient rules and guidelines should be put in place for the protection of the players. According to Catherine Sullivan, “let’s face it, the NFL is not going to make any further changes until it starts feeling pressure from the players association” (Sullivan). Sullivan’s quote along with eh other four interviews leads me to believe that the participant believe the NFL is not permeable o make changes unless they start hearing about it from the players. This proves that the culture surrounding the leagues officials is not acceptable, when there is a conclusive decision that the NFL doesn’t seem to care about concussion prevention. I believe this research to shows the irresponsibility of the league. It goes to show that fans feel that as long as the league keeps making money, and there is not pressure from the players then they are content with the current rules. However, this is interesting considering you there has been a decline in the length of players careers as well as researcher showing the severity of concussions.

The NFl is a place where fans can go and forget about their worries but, the NFL has now been corrupted with political opinion and many fans are unhappy about it. The recent stunt is proving nothing to change the causes that is” supposedly” trying to stop. In the blog “Now I have had enough” by Brandon

Whether or not the Washington football team should change their name has been debated for quite some time. The name of the team is a racial slur and can refer to the scalping of Native Americans for a bounty. The Washington Football team should not change their name because it should be something the Natives should decide and it takes attention away from other important issues concerning Native Americans. Opinions on the term are split amongst the Native Americans. There a some who like the name, others who do not, and those who do not care. However, it is still their term and they should get the rights to decide what to do with it. Non-Natives should not be making the decision for them and deciding who gets to use it and who doesn’t while

In today’s NFL, injuries, particularly head injuries, have become a common occurrence regardless of the amount of preventative training that the athletes invest in. These reoccurring head injuries have led to the deaths of former players and yet, instead of their families accepting that it was the player’s decision to continue playing, they somehow choose to blame the NFL as if the NFL committee were the ones creating the injuries to happen or forcing them to play through it. The NFL isn’t to blame for concussions sustained while playing the game because the coaches, medical staff, and players allow continuous play, creation of financial aid programs, new injury policies, and new equipment technology.

First, players of the NFL and NCAA or of any football league should know that playing football has a high risk for them to have head contact. If players want the rules to change they can quit. This is because you can take the fundamentals out of the game, there is a lot of hitting, that's just going to make the game boring they need contact. Also, players did not sign up to die. They do football for its value and that they like the sport the commissioners and every top rank of NFL cant listen to every complaint that players make. This is bad because there too many rules to follow and the refs would have to pretty much call a penalty every play, the refs don't want to change the

One of the largest issues for the players is that Goodell has to much power. The players want their to be a more transparent process in how fines and suspensions are handed down

When it comes to the NFL and domestic violence, the media should recognize every case and not just the ones that happens to players. “The problem of domestic violence is pandemic, and we as a society have lost our moral compass” (Oneial). The NFL’s policies should be stricter and players should get more than just a few games suspension when they commit the crime. Commissioners need to come up with better ways to stop players from abusing their wives and to spread awareness about the problem. Domestic violence is a big issue, but it seems like no one addresses it until someone well-known does it. The NFL should use this negative energy towards the players to make the situation more relevant and have it taken more serious. Commissioner Rodger Goodell should give players harsher punishments, bring more awareness to the problem, and make better conduct policies for players.

The players and teams receive too much leeway when they are involved with crimes or misconducts. They have a “distorted view of themselves” (White) which induces them to “overvalue their abilities and are proud and condescending when relating to others” (White). The league is responsible for investigating and taking action against the players and teams that do not follow the NFL Personal Conduct Policy which the league describes as avoiding “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the National Football League” (ESPN). This is required to be accepted by all workers in the NFL: players, general managers, coaches, owners, sideline/team employees, and even game officials. Roger Goodell, because of his title and job description, is delegated to be the “the judge and the jury in individual cases” (Pease). This responsibility he has is not a wise way of handling cases because there needs to be some sort of committee involved in order to give a thorough, well balanced, opinion and

It looks like a former Eagle could be returning to the nest. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Philadelphia Eagles are likely to pursue to Washington Professional Football Team wide receiver DeSean Jackson in free agency.
