Satires About Sports

Wrestling here at Wayland High School doesn't see many female wrestlers in fact there has only been a few but that didn't stop one female student to take on the challenge of wrestling. Stepping out of your comfort zone is hard but one student Emma Sheehan did just that by trying wrestling what is dominated by all males. Therefore I believe there is no one better to receive the award of stepping out of their comfort zone then Emma Sheehan. A girl on a “boys” mat. Here at Wayland high school there has been very few amounts of girl wrestlers but this didn't stop Emma from taking on the challenge of being the only girl wrestler on the team.

I hope your second week of WR 121 is going well. I also found the kidnapping scenario interesting because it helped me put in perspective how genre affects our writing. The example you used in your third paragraph is quite interesting as well, i never thought about how everything can be a genre. I wonder if genre is so complex, is their limits to what can’t be considered a genre?

Then once you make new friends, they could come over and play baseball with you. When you make new friends on your team that could also build confidence because you are talking to people that you have never seen or talked to. You can also become fit when playing baseball because there's a lot of movement in the sport. The only time you really aren’t moving is when you are sitting down in the dugout on the bench. In baseball you also workout a couple of times a week so that you can stay in shape for the season and play as good as you can. Then you will be able to do good at gym and other things that are physical. Those are all the pros I have for

The sport of baseball consists of physical activity that is wonderful exercise for the body. A person playing baseball is participating in all sorts of different activities that work different parts of the body. Typically if you play baseball, repeatedly throwing the ball will result in muscular development of the bicep, deltoid, and other muscles in the throwing arm (Brent, Michael). There are short bursts of running in both practice and the game that result in the building of muscles in the legs (Brent, Michael). There is so much activity that a 160 pound person can burn 365 calories in an hour (“Health and Fitness”). The game is generally played outside as long as the weather permits. It is generally sunny and this is great for people because sunlight is the main source of vitamin D; this helps the body absorb and metabolize calcium and phosphorus (Brent, Michael). Adolescents that play baseball usually stay fit for life

One of the assignments in my English class my senior year of high school was to write a satirical paper. In my paper I suggested that the game of football would be much safer if the use of pads was removed all together. I claimed that people would not hit as hard if they had no padding. I also suggested that there be no rules for player contact. Players could hit other players anywhere they wanted and at any time. Another separate suggestion I posed was to just go ahead and change it to flag football and eliminate linemen and all contact. If player safety is really the goal that seems like the logical thing to do. There were parts that were sarcastic but mostly I tried to use a more satirical tone. Seven months later I am tasked with

Also if you don’t attend school there are sports you can do outside of it at local parks. At these parks they offer baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, and soccer fields. So you can enjoy your favorite sports anytime.

     For my career research paper I have chosen to delve into the world of the sportswriter, and take a closer look at what that occupation may hold for myself. I have chosen to research this form of journalism because I consider myself to be a sports fanatic, and would very much enjoy spending the rest of my working days writing about the conditions in the world of sports. During the last year or so I have taken a period of time everyday to relax and read over sports articles from baseball and football at some of my favorite websites, such as espn.com or nesn.com, or to sit down and watch Sports Center on ESPN. I also seem to have an ability to remember statistics and rosters of players and

"Politics has come to be considered not only inappropriate in the arena of sports, but actually antithetical to it," Zirin says. "We want so much to see sports solely as an arena of play, not seriousness. But here's the thing, this can cheapen not only the greatness and relevance of sports to us as a society, but also the courage of the athletes" (The Nation). The pursuit of fame, wealth and status can blind the human conscious, which is why it is important for us to encourage athletes to speak their minds. As a nation, we should not silence the athletes, because it is the truly courageous athletes who have the audacity to stand up when it’s not popular. Sports should be used as a platform for a certain kind of politics: militarism,

A major role in my life would definitely be sports. It is almost as if I look up to sports because I could not live without them. Sports pretty much define me as me. I love to play sports as well as watch all kinds of sports on T.V. and if I could ever go to a game and watch the players play live I would be thrilled. Basically sports define me because I am ambitious, I finish what I start, I set goals for myself, and I am a fierce competitor in which I love to win and I hate to lose. The greatest part about sports to me is living for the moment when the game is on the line and the pressure is on can you come through and make a play for your

Tom, Sloane, and a pretty woman arrived at Gatsby's house on horseback. As they were all about to leave, Gatsby urged them to stay for supper because he wanted to learn more about Tom. The lady enthusiastically asked Gatsby and Nick to go to supper at her house instead.

Throughout this vast country we as Americans are entertained by many different things, including movies, music, and sports. Although, there are many ways for me to be entertained, I prefer the enjoyment of sports. As a youngster I enjoyed playing backyard games. We rounded up neighborhood kids and played for fun. We played either football or basketball every weekend. These two sports are the favorites of those who play them around the world. While these sports are alike in many ways, they are very different in other aspects.

While this is a meme, the player’s face in this is hilarious. He looks ready to be just bowled over by the other player. Perhaps basketball really isn’t this man’s sport.
