What Is Propaganda To Promote America

More than any other time, except maybe on the Fourth of July, Americans feel a sense of pride and patriotism during the Olympic games. Incentivize

I agree with your assessment of the American Flag. My husband is retired Navy and we stopped watching football last year because of the disrespect being shown to our flag, and the brave men and women who have fought for this country. In the past professional ball players as well as actors and actresses have shied away from voicing their political

As a son of immigrants, I admire the American flag because it represents strength and sacrifice from brave people who died for standing up for what is right. People often make mistakes and misinterpret certain situations. The protest made by NFL players aren’t done in a form of disrespecting the US flag. What is disrespectful is the reaction of President Trump’s inappropriate response towards the NFL players who kneeled calling them a “son of a bitch.” The way on how I view the situation is that the NFL players in a respectful and peaceful manner are protesting against the social injustices that are ignored in modern society. This form of protesting has never happened in sports, which is why I think that people need to realize the seriousness of the situation. The players only want to make people aware of the

The past few weeks there has been major controversy over the national anthem at sporting events and the athletes who play at those games. Though this is not a new act that has just come up recently it has just been brought up again by President Trump.

Flag respect has become a controversial topic, especially among American athletes and their fans, of which numerous news articles have been buzzing about. This ties in with a bigger picture, one about athletes publicly stepping into the political scene. This issue has garnered mixed responses from many places, many being that athletes should stick to sports. However, athletes should be able to use their fame to promote a political agenda for varied reasons. Washington Post’s article “The athlete as agent of change” discusses the history, causes, and effects of athletes influencing society.

The national anthem is about respecting those who put their lives on the lie to protect our freedom at home and abroad. I think athletes have a great platform to conduct change in our society either social, civil, etcetera, but I think they should choose their platforms to represent the change they want. I do believe that all players have the right to their first amendment, but they must understand the cause they are fighting against. By standing during the national anthem you are not hurting the politicians that you are fighting against, you are hurting the men and women who put their lives before ours. They fight for our freedom and I think we must show them the utmost

Pro athletes have gone to far because patriotism is a time to respect the people who fight for us not to starts protest during it. With the world today people may start doing ridiculous stuff like burning the american flag or even stepping on the flag. The pro athletes look lazy not standing during the patriotism song. I think if people could have a calm protest and no fights break out and they take protesting to a different area instead of sports then I really don't have a problem with protests. People just need to understand sports is a game not a time to protest and fights and things breaking out.

In the article, “The Athlete as Agent of Change,” the author states that athletes use the national anthem to protest by turning their backs on the American flag, so they can influence the people. People responded negatively when this happened and angrily taunted the athletes who were involved with the protest. I believe that because our American society has the right to protest and freedom of speech, athletes can show how they feel and influence the public to see their point of view, but I do not agree with dishonoring our flag. Thousands of men have fought and will continue to fight, so that our country can have freedom and safety, so if they dishonor the flag then they are dishonoring those men who have died for us. I believe that it is disrespectful,

Athletes, they have been taking a stand during the National anthem by taking a knee, raising their fists, and even turning away from the flag. Athletes should not be disrespectful during the national anthem, but should use their fame to express themselves properly. This is an article by Lonnie Bunch and David Skorton published by the Washington post “Opinion: The athlete as agent of change” Explain how athletes from the past and present have shown what they believed in in different ways through the National anthem. Before reading this article I had not put much thought into the situation of athletes not taking a stand while saluting of our Nation’s flag. According to the article, “For decades, athletes have used their fame as a platform to

Although the two articles are similar in that they are both informative and thought-provoking, the articles are different in subject and seriousness. Both articles shed light on major sports in America, and give detailed evidence about pressing issues plaguing each sport. The authors help the reader by effectively presenting the information and by quoting experts on each subject. Even though the articles discussed different material, the authors deliver the facts necessary for a successful piece.

The Super Bowl, the Olympic games, and the World Cups are major game that billions of people watch all over the world. People all over the world gathered to enjoy and engaged into something people feel comfortable associating with that they would not do on regular bases. Why not used that as a propaganda in boosting your sales. These companies will pay billions of dollars for their ad’s to be future on TV, and the funny part is they only last no more than less than one minute. These big corporations will be associated with sports, it’s the easiest way of making money. I remember that I had read an article for another class last semester that talk about how McDonald’s and Coke companies where investing in programs that helped with issue that

When I was reflecting about it, I did a research and found this statement written by Joe Posnanski, a NBC Sports national columnist: “If you think about it, playing the national anthem before every single sporting event is weird — we don’t play it before plays, before concerts, before the opera or ballet, before movies, before speeches or before comedy shows. But we play it before every game; we take just a moment to think of what it means to be American. Yes, you may disagree with what Colin Kaepernick thinks it means to be an American. But he is making his statement, boldly, unflinchingly, fully ready to face whatever comes his way. And if you’re being honest with yourself, you know the truth: The statement most of us make during the national anthem is simply this: ‘Come on, let’s get on with the game already!’”

Like many sports fans I have my favorite teams and they all have their traditions. In my mind, it's all in good fun and doesn’t cause any harm to people. This article points out one of the biggest issues in our country today, hate. It doesn’t matter what your ethnicity, race, religion, gender, age, height, or weight is there is a group out there that doesn’t like you. As far as sports logos, names, and traditions I believe that the interactionism of different teams is misunderstood.

The NBA has been one of the top sports organizations in the United States since the 1950s, and because sports are broadcasted so publicly in the country and around the world, leagues have been in surveillance and under scrutiny over the years. According to Aaron Smith in The Journal of Corporate Citizenship “the nature of sport lends itself to being

Eyes are glued to the scenes of a human body pushed to the limit. Powers clashing by the work of people who didn’t back down to get to where they want. Sports has been a culture for generations within America and has shaped how we think and act in our daily lives. Strangers come together to watch and relate to one another which creates a bond. Even the athletes that train as opponents respect each other and acknowledge the efforts that each individual puts in to succeed. This culture creates hard-working individuals, breaks down glass ceilings, and brings Americans together.
