Milwaukee Bucks

Morningstar, who despite her relative youth has compiled an impressive resume in the sports industry.

Why Athletes are Good Role Models Ever since the ancient years, we have admired athletes and the hard work that they do to achieve their goal of winning. We idolize them and wish we were more like them. What happens though when the realization sinks in that they are human too and that some of them do get greedy and selfish? A lot of athletes are model citizens that you should really look up to, but there are also some bad apples in the bunch that ruin it for everyone. Athletes can

As citizens of the United States of America we all have the freedom to be able to choose what we want to do with our lives. Everyone has the right to the pursuit of happiness. So why is the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) able to force high school basketball players to attend college for at least one year before they are able to enter the National Basketball Association (NBA) draft? If the athlete wants to enter the draft out of high school then should be able to do so. It is their

Throughout history, several sovereign nations across the world have been subject to political corruption by government officials for illegitimate personal gain. Corruption used to be a low profile line item; however, today it has reached heights at which the government must get involved to try to cover it up to ensure its secrecy and avoid exploitation. This instance is referred to as Crony Capitalism, which is a theory that has evolved from corruption over a period of time. This idea involves more

Nobody is forcing athletes to be good people, we just want some of them to use better judgement. One person that honestly thinks that ball players do serve a role as models for the kids and should live up to it is Vincent Lamont Baker of the Milwaukee Bucks. He is the best all round player on the team and one of the most versatile in the league. He is said to be the symbol of what the NBA is really trying to sell: "good players who are even better people." An excellent role model for black youth

Free Agency is Causing the Slow Death of Baseball   What ever happened to the old days? This is a comment that my Dad and Grandpa are always saying when it comes to major league baseball in this era. Like clockwork, at the beginning of every baseball season my Dad says, "Every year my team has all new faces. How am I supposed to root for this team if I don't even know who is playing for them." Now, more than ever, this comment is true. It is true because of free agency in baseball. Free agency

{draw:g} {draw:g} {draw:g} {draw:frame} Introduction Over the years, with the corporate development and social or statutes pressure, some concepts and standards related with audit is uncertainly or ambiguous. The obvious question is whether auditors should be blame when they failing to warn investors to ailing firms’ financial problems and risks (McNabb, 2009). In my opinion, auditors should be blame when they did not provide sufficient and useful information

good idea from a bad one and base your decisions accordingly. It is also key to know the possible consequences of one’s financial mistakes. Similarly to Hunter, Rollie Fingers, a former baseball pitcher for the following teams: Oakland Athletes, Milwaukee Brewers, and the San Diego Padres , made the same mistake by investing in outrageous companies that to some, can be viewed as useless. “Four years after his retirement in 1985, Fingers’ long-term investments in pistachio farms, Arabian horses and

Since 2007, no team that went on to win the NBA championship finished worse than seventh in defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) during the regular season. The Toronto Raptors, while not to be confused for a title contender just yet, once bolstered a defensive unit capable of shutting down the league's elite, finishing 2013-14 ranked ninth in efficiency at 102.4. None of that carried over to 2014-15, though, with the Raptors dropping all the way to 23rd (104.8). It became clear
