Censorship Of Professional Athletes

Athletes at school might get carried away just focusing on their sport. Playing a sport might not be a distraction and the student could just be stressing academically. They might be using their hobby to relieve stress, but this can lead throwing away their education as well. Education should be the number one priority. Honor roll, or just average grades in general, will increase the chances of students getting accepted to the college of their choice. If an individual wants to do the things he or she loves, college will play an important factor. Setting this rule for athletes will motivate them to do well in school if they really love the sport they

Sports in the media and popular culture effect how society and young adolescents view and value male and female athletes. Many young children begin to idolize professional athletes and how much money they make rather than focusing on the people who work “normal” jobs to make our lives better and safe, “… a person who saves lives, a person who protects and servers struggling families, and a person who shapes and molds young minds make a mere fraction of what sports stars make” ( Walker 344). This pushes the media and pop culture to persuade children to believe that professional athletes should be seen as more important than people like Teachers, Police Officers and Doctors who work to help us rather than just being here for our entertainment.

In American society sports holds a social significance and it influences almost every aspect of our lives. Athletics generate billions of dollars each year, thus causing a huge positive economic impact on the U.S. economy. Tons of that money comes from companies purchasing advertisements and endorsements because of the effect sports can have on future sales. “The sports market in North America was worth $60.5 billion in 2014 (Forbes Magazine).” Sports also affects how individuals may act or conduct themselves to represent their stand on general societal issues. Since it is such a huge aspect in society, people may give a certain level of validity to those related to professional sport to. When athletes have off the field issues that arise such as domestic violence, criminal behavior,

In professional sports today, there are thousands of professional athletes. Some have more fame than others and have varying levels of influence on young children throughout the world. It is important for all athletes to realize that they are role models. Also to reflect a positive character to the youth around the world. Athletes tend to do things in a selfish manner, not realizing that they have thousands of kids following their every move. According to Solberg and Ringer “professional athletes generally operate with a different set of values and behavioral norms than do non-athletes who participant at a less competitive level” (93).

Sports are a popular pastime among all ages and types of people. People not only participate in them for fun, but also for money, physical fitness, rush of competition, and for many other personal reasons. Playing sports is especially common among young people in schools. Athletics are great and enjoyable for many reasons, but there can be a point where sports participation can go too far and become negative for children and adults. Sports specialization for young people is an increasing trend that results in sports having a negative impact on individuals and society.

Sports are not for everybody, not only because of talent level, but because a certain mindset is to be had to be successful at any sport. A commitment is made. Forty hours of practice a week, the average amount of time spent practicing for football players, all for a one hour game, the average time of one game of college football, takes dedication. That is not even counting the time spent icing, resting, and studying the playbook or film, not to mention the school work to be kept up with for college and high school students. Most athletes have become used to the grind and juggling three or four time consuming activities all at one time while being successful at each. Waking up at the break of dawn, following a schedule, and suffering consequences when a bad choice is made creates character and discipline that is often needed for many little league, high school, and college athletes. The most important non tangible thing sports teach anyone is how to get back up after falling, how to get knocked down but get right back up and keep going, how to move on from failure and overcome it, focusing on the next important part of life. These skills of determination and courage taught through sports are essential for being successful in any part of life and are hard to come by anywhere

In America, sport is not only a physical activity, which is used for competition or games but it is also one of the main missions in schools in the US. However, there is a post named "The Case Against High-School Sports" written by Amanda Ripley, which are on a website named The Atlantic. In this post, the main idea of the author is that sports are taking too many times and money in schools and that makes some negative impacts on students, schools, and society. In this post, she claims that she can see the benefits of high-school sports and these sports are becoming likely more important than other academics in schools. However, she has wondered about a trend that participating high-school sports too much could lead to some problems. Although

Professional sports have evolved into one of the most influential aspects of modern culture. The unscripted nature of competition, combined with larger than life figures, like Peyton Manning and Lebron James, has inevitably resulted in people looking towards sportspeople for guidance and inspiration. However, this unintended consequence is where the controversy surrounding professional athletes arises. With such a tremendous level of influence, recent scandals have caused people to question whether the social position of athletes somehow obligates them to behave in a manner that conveys a positive message to others. In other words, spectators, such as Bethany Withers of The New York Times, argue that the influential nature of being a star athlete

The venue and staff are not responsible for any damages nor items that are lost or stolen. Bad sportsmanship will not me tolerated and persons will be asked to leave without refund. All money must be turned in by the deadline and is non refundable once turned in. I, my staff, nor the venue is responsible for any accidents obtained during this event. I also agree to abide by the rule set forth by the event

Back in the day, everyone had to go to school so they used sports to bribe them to want to come. Sports made them feel like they belonged. Although students now have taken it farther than back in the day. Students could thrive in academics if they really tried. Sports gives them another reason to forget about their homework and not study. The school’s have no limit. Maybe if their coaches made sure their athletes worked hard in class and were passing. Only 50% of students were passing all their classes. 45% of the students failing were star athletes at Ripley high school. The schools would never want to bench their star player.

Competitive children sports used to be community sports like Little League and AYSO with fun practices and trips to the snack shack, but now they have been taken over by competitive club sports, private lessons and far away tournaments. In the past 5 years the kids sports industry has increased from a 5 billion dollar industry to a 15 billion dollar industry. Many people think that the growth of children’s sports is benefiting their child for their future, but I believe that children should not play competitive club sports because of time loss, cost, and children being forced to play a single sport. Competitive sports take time away time from family, friends, community activities, and school.

Children are often exposed to sports at an early age. As they get older and start school they often participate in sports as a way to both make now friends and be active. As the children grow older, progressing into their teenage years, they become more specialized in their sports. The sports that the young people continue with grow in their favor. When the child reaches the high school level, sports take center stage. The pressure for them to perform in sports and perform well is immense. There is the pressure from coaches, teammates, and others to succeed. The futures of the athletes are at stake. They play for the chance of scholarships and to continue their childhood dreams. This immense pressure is very draining on the teenagers. The

In countries around the world, people are debating whether they should keep athletics in public schools, or ban them. Studies have shown that schools would be better off without sports. Therefore, schools should not have sports to save money, make students’ education a priority, and adapt to their new environment.

First and foremost, these sports organizations “have found sponsorship necessary as a means of offsetting rising costs and expanding promotional opportunities” (Irwin, Sutton, & McCarthy, 2008, p.146). When it pertains to deciding what sponsors will go where there is one large factor to consider. Is the sponsorship the right match for the demographic of the community? Would you want your organization to partner with a company that had no established business in the area? Would that make much sense for the company trying to establish a sponsorship either? Years ago, sponsorships did not have as much logic behind them, however, today to be determined successful, they need to pay dividends for both companies. According to Irwin, Sutton, & McCarthy,

It is currently a contentious argument over whether professional athletes are proper role models for the youth or not. This essay will discuss both these views prior drawing a conclusion and giving my own perspective.
