Importance Of Sports In Sports

Sports has always been a huge part of my life. I would be the one team player who took the sports season a little bit too seriously. I was the number 1 doubles player on my school's JV tennis team. Unfortunately, I fractured my ankle during my junior year and wasn't able to play with my team. I was devastated, but I didn’t allow myself to become disconnected from my team. I became the team manager to allow myself to still play a role in my team, despite my injury. I would record scores to my division leaders and take pictures to post on the website I created for my team. After the season was over, my doctor told me my ankles required surgery to become fully healed. I knew that meant I couldn’t continue to play tennis, but I didn’t want to give

I continued to play till the end of the game. I was in so much pain and aginee. I finished the game and went into the locker rooms and finished my high school career.

In recent years, America has seen a rise in police shootings of black men and women, as well as a response from the black community protesting against the injustice being brought upon their race. How exactly does this fit into the NFL? In the past, sports were sports and politics were politics, but since the civil rights era there has been an increase of politics in sports. From Tommie Smith and John Carlos in the 1968 Olympics to the present day Kaepernick wave of players kneeling during the anthem, many are on their side, many are confused, and many are enraged.

There would be times that I would be playing in three different leagues; my age group, the men’s league, and the division above my age. I lived for competition. When it came to high school, that need for competition stayed with me. My out of school team never really proclaimed captains, but everyone looked

In fact, momentous may be the ideal word to describe the madness we've witnessed for the past few months. Teams began training camp earlier this week, and 12-time all-star Dwyane Wade reunited with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers just two days ago.
