The Miami Dolphins, a professional football team located in Miami, Florida, has been a part of the National Football League (NFL) since 1966. The organization is most notably known for the 1972 Miami Dolphins football team, led by Don Shula, who went undefeated a won the Super Bowl. This team was the first and, so far, only team to have a perfect season capped off with winning the championship game. From 1966 to 1970 the Miami Dolphins were perceived like they are today as a losing franchise that could not win. That was until Don Shula, helped make the Dolphins one of the best franchises in the national football league during his reign as head coach. The time period from 1970 to 1993 were the golden years of the organization 's history; during this time the Miami Dolphins won 13 AFC East Titles, 5 AFC Championships, 2 Super Bowls and in 1973 set the league record 74,961 season ticket sales. During this time period the team had star players Larry Csonka, Dan Marino, Bob Griese, and several others that helped to build and sustain the Dolphins legacy. Since 1993 the Miami Dolphins have been known for holding three fantastic super bowls in 1994, 2006, and 2009, all of which were great games that the Dolphins were not involved in. While in recent years the Miami Dolphins have gone back to the original roots of field losing teams, the organization has developed a marketing strategy to improve the financial situation of the organization and maintain fan support.

The Chicago Blackhawks, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Chiefs, and Atlanta Braves are all professional sport teams in America that use Native American culture to represent them through the means of tribe names, logos, and mascots. These teams have received a lot of media attention around the debate on if the representation of Native Americans is offensive or not. Controversy surrounding Native American mascots first came into the public eye during the 1960s Native American Civil Rights movement, where the use of these mascots was criticized for being insulting. However, the people who conceived these teams did not acknowledge the prejudice and discrimination they were creating and grew the brands into multi-million

“It’s part of the game… Until it’s you.” Wide receiver Mario Manningham, who has played for the NFL’s New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers, spoke these jarring words in response to commentary by other players around the league indicating their beliefs that vicious, helmet-to-helmet hits are simply “part of the game” (Battista). For many years, this view, in which concussions are actually considered to be good in the way that they show one’s toughness and dedication to football, has been shared by many players and coaches throughout the league. The generally short length of the effects of concussions (or at least the immediate effects) and the frequency at which they happen have contributed to this dangerously careless perception of the ailment, to the point that some players would be more likely to consider retirement due to a foot injury than due to a head injury ("AP survey: Concussions not most"). Additionally, the lack of response to concussions by the National Football League, revealed in a 2012 lawsuit filed against it by former players affected by concussions, exacerbates the issue, along with their past attempts to hide the severity of concussions from players. This view of concussions is extremely concerning, and while the NFL has taken steps forward regarding concussion prevention and response through fines and regulations, improvement of the players’ awareness of concussions, stricter responses to concussions by the league, and increased support of players who

The greatest players the Bears of had are one of the greatest. One of these players is Walter Payton. This is because he is the goat or greatest of all time, of all player to ever live. He has more trucking power then Marshawn Lynch, and he has more speed than Le'veon Bell according to www.NFL.com. The second players is Brian Urlacher. He is a monster machine out on the field according to www.NFL.com. And he has just been selected to go to the hall of fame on February 4, 2018. The third and final player is Dick Butkus. He has not been in the NFL in awhile but since then he has been spending time with people and just recently he has pulled a elevator prank on others on TV. The channel was Comcast Sportsnet. Dick Butkus is the greatest defensive man on the league according to www.NFL.com. You could argue that one of these players should not be here. But here’s the weakness one of the guys could possibly not be here. These

Symbolic Interactionism in this reading is that the language people use towards the Saints and the Roughnecks really affects their future. Since the Saints were viewed as the “good” people teachers treated them with respect and tried all their best for them to have a better future. But then the Roughnecks were always treated like they never had a future. People in general don’t treat the Roughnecks with any respect so their tone changes up from sounding like professional teachers towards the Saints and teachers that don’t care about their students towards the Roughnecks.

Josh Brown is a NFL kicker for the New York Giants who was recently suspended. The reasoning behind his suspension were allegations on the grounds of domestic violence. Though the charges were dropped due to lack of cooperation from Brown's wife and the local law enforcement, Brown still had to sit out on the opening season game. Many fans of the Giants were outraged by that ruling. That outrage would subside though since Brown will return for the rest of the season. Although maybe not as a Giant for long, for another experienced kicker named Randy Bullock will fill in for Brown. This could lead to a competitive next few games between the two kickers. Either one could be the future kicker for the New York Giants. Only time and the coaches twitter

As my relatives arrived, I began to feel more alone. The conversation ran the usual course. The men talked about the Cleveland Browns or the Detroit Lions. The woman talked about their children or past marriages. I kept on the move between the two groups.
