Where would you rather live, the United States or Qatar? Easy, United States, but what if you had the choice between the United States or Qatar, but if you chose Qatar you will be given five million dollars and you only had to be there for 3 weeks.

Constantly, players from the NFL have been causing problems off of the football field. For example, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson been causing very “domestic violence”. “Their behavior, and that of a handful of other NFL stars, has been outrageous.” The NFL can urge its several thousand players to behave morally. When players are on the field, they act aggressively so this can reflect their behavior once they are finished with the game. “The NFL can urge its several thousand players to behave morally. However, it cannot watch them 24 hours a day without seriously violating their privacy and civil liberties.” People believe that they deserve punishments that fit their crimes.

The referee flipped his coin, signaling the start of what seemed to be a never ending soccer game. As the captains ran back from the center circle, the referee called over his shoulder, “Girls, we’re going to be playing big girl soccer today, so I won’t be calling any fouls.” Not surprisingly, this game turned out to be the most injurious game in my soccer career. When the final whistle blew, there was a total of two concussions, a dislocated hip, a blown out knee, and countless scrapes and bruises on all of us contenders. The parents, rooting for their respective teams, were the ones horrified most of all. While they could have yelled at the referee, acted in an impolite manner, and possibly had their team disqualified from the tournament, they decided to follow the civil process established by the league; this was writing letters of complaint and sending them to the tournament organizer. Through this process, the parents were able to express their displeasure with the referee without compromising the team’s ability to win.

The spectator of this sport has an obligation to the players of the sport, to make sure that the organization is protecting and looking out for them.

The current situation that is understood, contents contain implied knowledge that all parties of this table are in uniform knowledge and agreement to what comes of playing football.

Personal conduct in the NFL, National Football League, is an issue that is starting to spiral out of control. Late September, 2014, “the league [had] suspended at least 20 players for actions including assault, substance abuse and use of performance-enhancing drugs” (White); this was only a few weeks into the regular season of play for the league. The NFL has grown enormously since it was founded on August 20, 1920 in Canton, Ohio. But, this league has become more and more lenient with its players and personnel. Many professional athletes in the NFL receive special treatment regardless of their improper actions, thus allowing them to elude the consequences and in turn setting a misleading example for their young fans. In order

As a fan and a soccer player, which is called “Foutbol” in my country (Haiti), I watched many talents go to waste. Back home we didn’t have the proper equipment to train and play the beautiful game of foutbol. Most importantly, we lack the soccer knowledge that prevented most of us from playing on a professional level. There are many places where children are playing the game with their bare feet, and unorganized. Although, many others recognize the problem, not one, including our government, ought to make a change. With this in mind, Nick’s Foutbol Academy & Complex was born where I will be able to provide soccer players in Haiti the necessary gears for practice and games.

I did that so I could find some kind of reasoning for their actions, lessons I could learn from these previous situations, or how would I react? First, being part of the committee why were they in such denial of incidents occurring previously before the UEFA tournament? Was it because they didn’t want the world to see it or did they truly think nothing of it? What we can learn from these situations is the realization that politics are very much involved in sports. There can or will be certain groups that will take the platform that sports have and try to use it promote their cause. As a possible future administrator if we had a zero tolerance in policy by golly we would follow that policy. Possibly the Ukraine and Poland might have been a good time to show we will not put up with this behavior and would give them two options, one to move the tournament completely and secondly to let them host only if significant change has been made before the tournament. With being a local or citizen of those two countries is their behavior due to demographics slash cultural upbringing? There was some strong agreesive, and radical influences spread there from the World Wars

Other issues highlighted also include FIFA sponsorship deals, reforms, and unfavorable workers’ conditions that has contributed to the attitudes of most of the employees . According to the Transparency International, corruption within FIFA might involve referees taking a bribe, clubs demanding kickbacks for player transfers, or companies seeing nPow (need for power) and government rigging the bids for construction contracts.
