The NFL’s process for modifying or adopting rules and regulations is systematic and consensus-oriented (National Football League). A Competition Committee was created in 1968 to review all of the procedure in the game including rule changes, roster regulations, technology game-day operations and player safety. The NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, appoints the members of committee which consists of “two owners (John Mara – owner, New York Giants and Stephen Jones – owner, Dallas Cowboys), two club presidents (Rich McKay (chairman) – president, Atlanta Falcons and Mark Murphy – president, Green Bay Packers), two general managers (Rick Smith – general manager, Houston Texans and Ozzie Newsome – general manager, Baltimore Ravens) and three head

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, also known as the NCAA, was founded in 1906 for the purpose of protecting young athletes from the dangers of the games that they partake in. There are also many reports that also say that the main reason that the NCAA was founded was due to the fact that football was starting to die out because of how physical and demanding the sport is. The president at the time was Theodore Roosevelt, who was a huge fan of the game, took action to protect the sport that he loved. President Roosevelt gathered thirteen football representatives to come to the White House and discuss with them what the sport needs. From these meetings, the president and the representatives agreed on reforms to improve the safety of the players who are participating in football. This agreement between these members thus create a group there to protect and serve the student athletes, later entitled the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Now over 100 years later, this group has expanded to over 1200 schools and institutions nationwide (“Editors of Encyclopedia 1”). This group has run into a bit of controversy throughout their years though. With having to deal with cheating scandals to rape and murder. The NCAA is one of the biggest money makers in the sports business by bringing in over 871 million dollars. The NCAA is such a controversial group because of how strict they are with how they deal with their student athletes. So many of these students do so

The strengths of the National Football League or NFL are rooted deep in the fabric of America. There is an undeniable tribal nature to the sport of American Football. All across the country devoted fanatics cheer on their teams may they be unpaid college students or millionaire household names. Football is not just a sport in America, it is cherished, tattooed and celebrated.

Are the NFL and NCAA enforcing rules that make American football TOO safe? Over the years these organizations have gradually changed the way football is being played. The changes have mostly been made to keep players safe and make the game less violent. With all these rule changes some people think it is taking the fun away from the game. American Football has become a sport that is classified as “too soft” compared to what it used to be.

In 1906 Theodore Roosevelt helped establish the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA was initially established to protect the players and improve the safety of sports like football. Today, the NCAA is a twelve billion dollar industry (Chris Beck). Most of the money is generated from ticket sales and merchandise. With this money generation the NCAA has strayed away from its original goals, which were to improve the safety of college sports. The NCAA has now begun to focus on penalizing athletes for breaking rules that they put in place.

By 1978, The Chinese Communist Party recognized the danger of uncontrollable population growth, and in response to its fears, instigated the one-child policy, which forbade more than one child per family to prevent the population of China from growing burdensomely large. In practice, the policy has gained infamy for its supposed infraction upon human rights and for the demographic problems associated with it, notably in the current male-female sex ratio imbalance in favor of the males. It has (according to the PRC) prevented 400 million births during its several decades of use. Despite proffering prevailing

If you hear ill tempered, chariot riding, horse creator, you most likely won't think of the Greek god Poseidon. Poseidon's childhood was far from normal. Once grown, he gained all control of the seas, even created the horse. Even with all that control and creativity, Poseidon couldn't control his temper, he liked getting revenge. Between a rough start, being ruler of the sea, and trying to handle his bad temper, Poseidon must have had his hands full.

During the early 20th century college football played a bad role and influence on American culture by diminishing a good college education. I oppose the role that college football had on American culture because it took away from the main purpose of going to college, which was getting a good education for most Americans. Since the US was involved in World War 1, many veterans came back to the US with no jobs. College coaches were exploiting veterans by concentrating on making their team better rather than wanting them to focus on an education, so that they could get a good job in the future.

On November 6, 1869 the first game of American football was played, players from princeton university and rutgers university met to play the first intercollegiate football game. Back in those days football still resembled rugby more than modern day football, with 20 players to a team. In 1873, representatives from Columbia, Rutgers, Princeton, and Yale Universities met in New York City to form the first intercollegiate football rules for the now popular game.These four teams established the Intercollegiate Football Association (IFA) and set 15 as the number of players allowed on each team.

When bringing up the topic of Football, people think of Muscular men above six foot physically pounding each other.

California is the most populated state in the United States. It has nine regions of which Northern California is the main focus. It has very many people with very different ethnic, racial, religious and national backgrounds. Notably, the population of California stands out as one of the most varied and composite anywhere on the globe. The population has rapidly increased over the last century. By 1950, the population of California was only about 10 million people. As of 2000, the population had increased threefold to an approximation of almost 35 million people (Reyes & Currie, 2001).

When it comes to football in the college league, many rules have been changed or new rules have been added to make the game safer for those that play it. The Targeting rule was added going into the 2008 NCAA season of college football for safety reasons. This rule has also introduced a new discussion of whether or not the rule is fair. The rule states that if a player strikes another player in an upward motion, striking with the crown [top] of the helmet, then it is a fifteen-yard penalty, and the player is disqualified from the game. This obviously causes controversy between officials and college football coaches. Many believe that the rule is too harsh and that many calls that are targeting, are not targeting after all. And that it is not fair to eject a player, if the player did not even deserve the call “There are other gripes with the targeting rule. Washington State coach Mike Leach called it ‘micromanaging, for lack of a better word,’ citing too many variables and inconsistent enforcement. Stanford coach David Shaw echoed a sentiment shared by Mora and Pickett: that there should be different levels of targeting penalties corresponding with the severity of the infraction” (qtd in Bolch). NCAA rules states that when the targeting rule is implied, then the officials will review the play, and give a final verdict. However, most of the time the call is not overturned and the player remains disqualified from the game. This new rule has also made it nearly
