Hall Of Fame Persuasive Speech

Would you want to be discriminated because of the color of your skin? Would you like to be in a sport that you love but everyone hates you being in it? Would you be able to take all the insults about racism towards you and not fight back? Wouldn't you try to stop this? Jackie Robinson had to deal with all of this when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers . On April 15, 1947 Jackie Roosevelt Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers making him the first african american major league baseball player.

There is a lot of controversy over Caitlyn Jenner receiving the Arthur Ashe Award for courage. While some believe she is worthy of the award, others believe that the award should have gone to someone else. D.L. Hughlye is one person speaking out against Caitlyn winning the prestigious award. He told TMZ, July 17, 2015, that Arthur Ashe founder of the award, showed real courage. Those who receive the award should be the same. Arthur battled AIDS and lived in a time where the South and his profession were segregated. He compared that to Caitlyn putting on a dress to win the award. To D.L., the two aren’t even in the same ballpark. He thought it was a targeted that the late Lauren Hill, a college basketball player who battled cancer, lost to a man wearing a dress. D.L. said that Caitlyn looked like a PE teacher, but his comments went further when he compared Caitlyn to the TV character Mrs. Doubtfire. He said she is as beautiful as Robin Williams was as Mrs. Doubtfire. playing the character played by the late Robin Williams.

Do you wonder who Jackie Robinson really was, and what team he played for? Well then I will tell you. Jackie Robinson was not always so happy most of the time he was sad and mad. Jackie was usually sad and mad because everyone would tell him he cannot play baseball, wrote threats and put them on his door, made fun of his skin color and race and treated him very poorly. Jackie on the other hand dealt with all of this and just ignored those people while he played baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers and lived with his mom Mrs. Robinson and Jackie Junior. Every time Jackie had a baseball game to go to Mrs. Robinson and Jackie Junior would go with him to cheer him on (because the crowds did not like Jackie so much).

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. Okay, most of you reasonable people would choose Qatar, and I would imagine most of you would do it for the money. FIFA or the International Federation of Associated Football (Soccer) was bribed into making that same decision over the 2022 World Cup (Berlin), which is without a doubt the most watched and visited sporting event in the world, and now it will be witness in one of the smallest and hottest countries in the world. Now this raises the question on how these very prominent issues such as corruption (Berlin), Doping (Drepper), Money Laundering (FBI 24 Years Bribery and Corruption), the Violations of Basic Human Rights

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

If the NBA ever decides to change its logo, we know who the model for the current one would like to see replace him.

It was nice to speak with you today about the NCNW award. However, because of the short notice and the September 5, 2015 deadline the Glass curve would not be ready on time. We would like to move forward and create a customized NCNW framed award for $80.00. I have attached a 15 in X 12 in NCNW frame award sample we can customize for your recipient.

Hay you yay you,welcome to room 43 where we are a kawau red ball, this place is awesome. Hope you have fun right here,in this class you have an important job which is PE shed. This is a very time consuming job, you have about 4-6 people in your group. Also this is not a sport extension class, it gets very annoying after a while. if you look over on the wall you will see PE etiquette, which you have to follow also do not say dodgeball. If you do you will regret it, trust me.

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

During my persuasive speech, I used an attention getter with a story to put a face on the problem of the 5-day work week because it is something for the audience to get attached to. In my attention getter, Jeff Campbell suffers from a stroke from working long hours as an accountant. I believe it was effective in showing pathos to the problem of the 5-day work week. In my thesis, I clearly stated the topic and related it to my audience by telling them that it will affect all full-time employees in America. To conclude my introduction, I gave a preview of the what I was going to talk about during my speech, which included the problems, causes, and solutions.

One thing in life I have learned is you have to let go. If you’re incapable of letting go you will never be a happy person. It’s a fact. There will be things in life you regret, there will be people you're mad at or hate, there will be things said to you that you’ll never be able to let slip from memory. Letting go is the only way you’ll ever find peace, because until you do you’ll never be able to be truly happy. Holding on to these feelings only makes you angrier, sadder, and more upset.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter” (“Martin Luther King Jr.”). The Black Lives Movement is an organization that campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. Black Lives Matter is reminding people that racism still exist in our country and that police brutality isn’t right. In a protest I believe there ever shouldn’t be violence and that we should be heard. Protests don’t put police officers lives in danger. Unfortunately, the protesters are the ones to be put and snatched down to the floor. There should be a better way for the police to take care of situations like these because police should be protecting not hurting protesters.

Often times when we try to succeed we end up giving up, however, this is not the case for many. Like Malcolm X and myself, we both tried proving others wrong out of frustration to show that we can succeed. In order to do this, we need to practice what we need to do to better improve ourselves. Some can have the disbelieve of others thinking that they are not good enough or not willing to achieve something which can lead us to possible failure. Whether we succeed or fail we should never give up on proving those who ever doubted us wrong.

The times have changed to now where every kid will get a trophy for playing a game or being in a tournament. For century's it has always just been 1st ,2nd ,and 3rd where the only places that would get a trophy or award for being the winners. I am here today to tell you why it is not a good idea to give every kid a trophy to him for just playing the game.
