Unionization

1) I feel that collage students should not be able to unionize for the collage because they are students and not employees, they chose to be at tat school and play that sport they were not forced into anything.
2) Once again I fell that students should not be paid from a school that they chose to attend.
3) If the athletes were to be paid by the school then no, they should not get a scholarship. I say this because an above average student would have to pay the school and find a job to make up for the money they paid while a jock can just play the sport that got them the free scholarship and get paid for playing the sport and if they wanted more money they can get an easy job flipping burgers or be behind a cash register at any fast food chain. 

Prefontaine Questions

Prefontaine Questions

1) Pre as a person was snobbish in a way and as an athlete he always wanted to push himself.
2) Pre gives off a hard shell that he wants people to see but in his life people kept putting him down so i feel that he is a likable character.
3) After his teammate through the weight for his furthest distance Pre marched onto the field and stole his thunder.
4) You can't let anything get in the way of your goal.
5) the athletes are pushed to think they are better than anyone they face but as Pre finds out in the Olympics that's not true.
6) He wanted to run the one mile and beat the fastest time.
7) The conditions were poor at best. In the most resent Olympics in Russia they faced a similar problem.
8) Russia and America were paired in the basketball finals and the refs called a terrible match and reset the clock twice.

I have a feeling that the NHL playoffs will end with the Capitals vs Flyers. Even though I am a Bruins fan I have seen that they were slaking off recently. Unless the Bruins step up there game I don't see them making it to the playoffs. I say that the Capitals and Flyers will make it because the Capitals have run a great defense. As well as their goalie with a good record so far. The Flyers record last season was great so I feel that they will carry this record over to this season.

Boston racist?

As a fan of most Mass sports, I feel that the Boston racism ordeal is being blown out of proportion. if people and the world are relying on a website to judge a whole city then what can we find on others that people have said. If the world is stuck in a faze like this then the world is going down hill. As Gandhi once said in his life "An eye for an eye..." and i stick true to this quote. People need to see the big picture and stop being picky when it comes to news and the internet.  

What is a sport?

I feel that a sport is an activity that makes people physically challenge the participants and has some sort of point system to show the victor(s) but in the end everyone is respectful of one another.
