They are putting us up on a pinnacle.”(Insult or Honour?(2010)) The Native Americans are the ones that are supposed to take the name as an insult, but they seem just fine with it. Another tribe member states that “I am full-blood, and I grew up on this reservation. I have to tell you, I am very, very honoured that they would use the name.”(Insult or Honour”(2010)) If the Native Americans are proud of the name, then there really is no point at trying to

Clearwater, Florida for half of my life and I spent the second half of my in Jacksonville. I consider both places home for different reasons therefore I guess that I’m “from” both cities. Family is very important to me, so being two hours away from home was a major bonus while choosing Florida State.

They include Native-American, African-American, Protestant, European, “Cracker”, Hispanic-Latino, and Cuban.

Football is the most popular sport in the United States. The two types of football people watch the most is college football and professional football.

The Chronicle of Higher Education recently estimated that college athletics is a $10-billion marketplace (Suggs). That is $500-million more than Major League Baseball (MLB) (Brown), and $2-billion shy of the National Football League (NFL) (Belzer). It’s quite obvious college sports are making money. However

This whole idea of rules being made through the game being played can be seen, and it can almost be said that games actually shape the way the game is played.

The year was 2000 A.D. there were a lot of amazing things going on some good and some very bad. “Locally at this time the city of Toledo was trying to ban assault rifles, because of the increase of violence surrounding gangs and gang violence” (Toledoblade.com). this is kind of sad that the world and my home are at war with each other constantly. One of the biggest surprises of the year was Bill Gates stepping down as CEO of Microsoft, some say it was a very bold move. Even after that stepdown it
