Free speech is as synonymous with America as the bald eagle, Old Glory or a slugfest on the gridiron. However, this seemingly inborn right most Americans take for granted has fallen under attack in recent years. The attack on free speech has come directly from the left, and is focused squarely on free speech as it relates to conservative voices. The limitation on such speech seems to only apply when the ideas expressed differ from those on the left. At least this appears to be the case when it comes

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is the first game from developer 38 Studios, owned by former Major League Baseball player Curt Schilling, and its subsidiary Big Huge Games. It was published by 38 Studios and Electronic Arts. It is an open-world role-playing game (RPG) and is available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC. Amalur is one of my favorite games for a multitude of reasons. This review will focus on the story, overall world construction, and game play because I feel that they are

The Basic American Right The First Amendment states that a person has the right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of press. Although these things are clearly stated in the constitution, these rights are beginning to be compromised, and taken from the American people. Many people in America are not able to say their views in fear of offending someone else with the comments. This is a problem that many people are facing especially on the right side of the political spectrum. Some

In 2004 the Boston Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 86 years. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series in 2016 to end a 108 year championship drought. What do they have in common? The teams both had a success in the early 20th century, but both blundered for extensive amounts of time before winning another world championship. Both had to overcome a huge deficit to complete their championship winning seasons. Both teams were coming off a successful season the year before, and had big

2004 ALCS: The Biggest Miracle in the History of Sports In the early to mid 2000’s, baseball was dominated by two Major League organizations: the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. These two storied organizations have boasted a historic past, each possessing arguably the greatest player the game has ever seen: Babe Ruth. Each of these clubs had hit their peak in the early 2000’s, and it set up for an epic clash in the 2004 American League Championship. The Yankees took an early three games

Steroid Use in Major League Baseball Why Major League Baseball players would use steroids is the biggest question that every person in the world wants to know. I think MLB players use steroids so they can bulk up and get stronger, which will allow them to last through the long, seven-month season. I think that because they play 162 games a year during these seven months that this causes a great deal of wear and tear on their bodies. Especially if a player gets hurt, they might try to take

There have been many famous figures that have made a significant impact in the sport industry. One person, who was hired in 2002 at the age of 28, is one of those people. Theo Epstein has made monumental waves in the sport industry since he became the general manager of the Boston Red Sox in 2002. Since then, Epstein has gone on to revolutionize baseball in hiring young, educated, talented minds with knowledge and understanding of sabermetrics to lead their organizations. Epstein was one of the first

Most people would not complain about athletes making a lot of money. After all, we pay to watch them perform. We root for the ones that play for our teams, and root against the ones that play for the opponents of our favorite teams. The athletes earning the league minimum in a variety of sports are among the top 1% of wage earners in the United States. The problem is, a number of them don't know how to handle money. Among NBA players, 60% file for bankruptcy within five years or less of retiring
