Not even financial woes concerning UFC 217’s ticket sales could divert George “Rush” St-Pierre’s (GSP) attention to his goal of defeating Michael “The Count” Bisping and having the UFC middleweight championship belt wrapped around his waist on November 4 at Madison Square Garden. MMA Junkie relayed GSP’s statement that he would rather win his fight and make zero dollars than the other way around by losing his fight and earning his profit. According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, the pay-per-view’s ticket sales are not going well as expected, yet UFC President Dana White explained that GSP required a reintroduction to the sport’s followers after a long layoff. In the end, only live gate and pay-per-view figures will determine UFC 217’s success.

I don’t know when, but it’s going to happen.”

As a result, years later a lawyer from Clarendon county heard about the case of George Stinney. Even though he grew studied law in the area, he had never known about it. He thought it was unbelievable that the trial was not given due process. He convinced a judge to reopen the case and give George a fair trial. This case went to the supreme court where his case was heard and he was exonerated (Hutchins).
Later, the case regained attention and people finally saw how unreasonable his trial was. George’s family and local attorneys worked on reopening his case. In the December of 2014, Stinney was exonerated. George’s case lives on in the hearts of his family and community as a sign of racial injustice through the court system. Due to the conflict of racial injustice surrounding the execution of George Stinney, the supreme court compromised by reopening his case and exonerating him in 2014.
Robert Glaser was having a blast when in 1995 he attended a Billy Joel concert at Jack Murphy Stadium. Really into the music, a mystery in itself, Glaser finds he has to answer nature's call. He goes to the nearest restroom and finds a woman in there squatting over a urinal. Glaser is embarrassed thinking he has entered the wrong bathroom. His search continues. But, every restroom he finds he also finds a woman in it. Desperate for privacy to pee, he his disheartened when he discovers the bathrooms at the stadium are unisex. Logically, Glaser chooses to hold it for the rest of the concert. Being a Billy Joel concert that was only a short four hours.

Stinney was accused of killing two young white girls that were 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker and 8-year-old Mary Emma Thames. The image of the boy sat on the electric chair, and the chair’s strap were passed through the 95-pound boy. This chair didn’t fit for him, so they used books to be placed on his seat. His eyes seem to be different from
In recent years boxing today is constantly compared to the past years often making the argument that boxing was better in the past. The past had names like Lenox Lewis and Mike Tyson destroying the heavyweight division fans were almost guaranteed a knock out, which like most combat sports is what most fans want to see. Today, though fans constantly get disappointed when that doesn’t happen, which makes them automatically declare boxing’s past was and always will be better than it can ever become. The other side of that argument is the declaration that boxing is dead.

As a CEO of the organization, I will address my reasoning for my decision. If the employee left the hospital to conduct a personal matter and told George Mann about it, I think that was a good decision to make. However, leaving the premises without punching out, it is considered to be that you’re still on the clock. Sally Carter saw the employee and was unaware of what was going on. Although there is a company policy for employees leaving the premises without punching out, it doesn’t completely explain why the situation has become a bigger issue. I agree with George Mann letting the employee run errands, but I disagree on not clocking out which cause him to lose 2 hours of pay. For George Mann’s position, he will be suspended for not checking

The UFC is finding fighters with the biggest fan bases to draw in more money. “Anyone trying to predict what fights we’ll be watching at the end of the year can forget about official rankings. Theses days you’re better served following the money fights.” The UFC has not given out as many contender fights as they have in the past years. They have found that big fan bases draw in the money and pay per view tv. Upcoming fighters who are top ranked are not getting their title fights because they are not popular fighters yet and. Dana White president of the UFC says not everybody wins a trophy, which is true but because he has not given fighters who deserve the title a chance to fight for it.
