Sports Is Not The Same If Intentional Fouls Are Acceptable

Professional athletes are still people that have made mistakes in the past. There is no professional athlete that does not wish that he or she did not make the mistake that was made. A great example would be NFL Running Back Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings. The article discusses how Peterson had punished his 4-year-old son with a switch bare bottom. Peterson had admitted that he had beaten his son enough for him to draw blood. The court had declared this as child abuse against Peterson. Although, Peterson had defended

These aggressive attitudes and tendencies have been shown to have effects on one's judgement and the perception of their environment. An athlete with an over aggressive attitude who's judgement becomes clouded by aggression develops a disregard foe the opponent(s) that their aggression is being aimed at." I think the aggressiveness in sports - just making the play, charging past people or dominating somebody physically - really needs to be separated by athletes from appropriate off field behavior."(Tom Jackson, Univ. Arkansas psychology professor.)

A controversial issue in sports is contact sports. Which means you have to tackle or sometimes push the person to play. Like football or Lacrosse. People are getting hurt and sometimes it leads to death. It can cause a lot of injuries, in many different places, depending on where they get hit.

Participation in sports has steadily increased over the years from the youth level to the high school level. While the growing popularity has been praised for getting kids active a huge amount of pressure has been put on school districts, coaches, and staff for students safety during physical activity after a number of negligence cases have found schools liable for incidents with student athletes. Negligence is defined as breaching the duty of care owed to someone and can be due to a person’s actions or omissions (Spengler, 2016). With there being elements of risk of injury in sports, schools are at risk of being sued if the plaintiffs are able to show that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care, that the duty of care was breached, and that the plaintiff suffered damage as a result of that breach. The objective of this paper is to analyze three cases of negligence in high school sports and to identify how the cases impact my role as a

A controversial issue has been whether or not contact sports should be played in high school. People believe that contact sports should not be allowed to be played by the youth in high school. This issue is serious enough to have safety laws. For instance, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) law is the Zackery Lystedt Law. The Zachery Lystedt Law was the first law to protect the safety of young athletes when the get concussions. This law says that children must not participate in sorts related functions, such as practices and games, until they are medically cleared to do so. Various reasons include exceeded the joys and benefits of playing contact sports. Said reasons include long term injuries, intense amounts of money needed, thus more sponsors needed, and contact sports have a trend of causing drug abuse.

Thus, wilful and wanton or reckless conduct allows the court to gauge what is and is not permissible conduct under the circumstances. Second, as the court recognized in Nabozny, courts must strike a balance between "the free and vigorous participation in sports" and the protection of the individual from reckless or intentional conduct. (Nabozny, 31 Ill.App.3d at 215, 334 N.E.2d 258.) Third, the court believed that applying an ordinary negligence standard would allow virtually every participant in a contact sport, injured by another during a "warm-up" or practice, to bring an action based on the risks inherent in virtually every contact

It was called “Acceptance,” a story about a father whose alcoholism kills his son, an All-American football star. A second chance is then offered in the form of two new sons, one homosexual and the other intellectually disabled. As far as the outcome, you would have to “…wait for the movie”. The outlandish story Rae Carruth imagined would never reach the big screen, instead his own life would far eclipse the scenario he created when he chose to have his eight-month pregnant girlfriend and unborn baby murdered instead of paying child support. Part of his plan did work, Cherica Adams did die, but not before calling 911, identifying Carruth, and also giving birth to their son, who survived. It was a shocking crime that would make headlines,

These days it seems as society is constantly being faced with Ethical Dilemmas. Whether it is normal everyday citizens, actors, business executives, and even athletes. The way that every person deal with ethical dilemmas is by relying on their worldview. The world of professional sports is a very tough and competitive place. It is full of top level athletes that are masters in their respective sports and the struggle that they all face is to be better than everyone else. With all these athletes working hard and looking for new ways to better themselves, some take the easy way over the right way. In this paper, the ethical dilemma of performance enhancing drugs being used in sports will be addressed

As many people know, sports are dangerous. However, most coaches and spectators say things like, “tough it out” or “no pain no gain” to these players. But if a player plays with

ss. At the time, nobody knew anything about concussions and what they can do to a person. It wasn’t until about 1994 when the NFL started too research brain injuries. Since then, the NFL has been pushing concussion protocol. Teams must follow protocol to the period and they don’t, they will be fined.

Basketball is an evolving game, so the rules of the game must evolve with it. It is important that The National Basketball Association adapt to the changing game styles, because it is your duty as the head of an organization, to give the best product possible. As the number of games plagued with intentional fouls increases, the number of fans will decrease. It is your job as the jurisdiction of the NBA, to make sure that the game does not regress, and that the fans are getting what they want. The solution to the problem of intentional fouling in the NBA is to give coaches the option of inbounding the ball instead of taking free throws.

Negligence is “an act or omission which violates a legal duty and creates an unreasonable risk of harm to another, resulting in injury” (Rosenthal, 2003-2004). Every sport possesses its own unique risks. “Personal injuries are not only a consequence of competition, they are an object of that competition” (Fitzgerald, 2005). Sports require and encourage rough play. Those who participate know this and accept those risks.

Excessive survivalism is a sport in when athletes are obsessed with winning and will do anything to achieve that goal of winning. Players will find ways to bend the rules or cheat just to achieve the victory over their opponent. The need to win games will overrule the player’s morals and beliefs as a person. This is a huge problem athletes face when it comes to sports. They become so obsessed with winning that it becomes the only objective they focus on. Some athletes even put their health at risk. In some cases athletes will sustain an injury and will not let the team know so they can take the proper protocol just so they can they can stay in the game. In other cases, a player may do something that is considered dirty or against the rules just to get the edge over their opponent, and that might not be how the player is as a person outside of their sport but when it comes to the game they will do anything they need to do survive and win.

is very true when dealing with a physical contact sport like hockey. There is a

Winning is every coach or player's main goal in any sport or in life. Although winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing. Coaches spend countless hours preparing for a big game and this builds up the fear of a loss. No one wants to lose after you dedicate hours upon hours on the court and in the books scouting and preparing for a game. Therefore, winning becomes the only option for you and your team. Throughout this persuasive essay, dedication, toughness, and ** will explain why “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”
