- ... in many fights. Before football or even baseball, Knute discovered skiing. He loved it, and went skiing every chance he got during the winter. Knute was a natural athlete, and excelled in all of the sports he tried. He excelled in track, making a name for himself later on. Although he was always one of the shortest guys around, Knute was one of the toughest. The only protective gear he ever ... much. This obsession almost got him an education. Knute never made the starting team until he was a senior, so he played on the scrubs team. At the same time, Knute tried playing many other sports. His school attendance slipped and his grades became mediocre. Persistence paid off, and after 3 years on the scrubs, Knute finally made it to the starting football team. After this successful senior football season, it ... It was at this time that he loosened his grip on becoming a pharmacist and decided to devote his life to football. From day one Rockne's goal was to establish ND as a national sports power.

- 203: Birth Order 2
- ... Birth Order 15). Later borns are more inclined to take risks when compared with first borns. Later borns are more likely to rate themselves as "physically daring." They are more likely to engage in dangerous sports such as rugby, football, hockey, boxing, and parachute jumping. By contrast, first borns favor swimming, tennis, golf, and other non-contact sports. The inclination to participate in dangerous sports increases with birth rank and family size (Sulloway 112). Being last born isn't all fun and games. Youngest children often have feelings of insecurity or long periods of self-doubt (Leman, Birth Order ...
- 204: The Human Mating Game
- ... 72). What teenagers are involved in may also make a difference in the view of sex and the sex drive of the adolescent. Most researchers have thought by encouraging kids to become active in playing sports, they would reduce their sex drive and keep them occupied so that they wouldn t have the opportunity to participate in sexual acts. In females, this seems to be true. Young women who participate in athletics seem to have sex later and less often than their non-athletic peers, and by doing so face a lower risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Supposedly, taking part in sports raises a females self-esteem and gives them the power to say NO. Males, in contrast, often tend to be slightly more sexually experienced. Kathleen Miller, Ph.D., of the State University of New York--Buffalo, states, The culture of sports reinforces the mind-set that boys score on and off the field. The minds of these boys think, Since I can t get pregnant, why should I worry if I get some girl pregnant. ...
- 205: Ad Ananlysis
- ... try out the product being advertised. Every aspect of an ad, from the wording through what magazine it appears in, has relevance to selling its product. As I was flipping through the pages of my Sports Illustrated, I came upon an ad that caught my attention. There is no magazine better than Sports Illustrated for advertisements that are targeted at men, since the readers of this magazine consist almost entirely of men. One is not going to see advertisements for tampons in this magazine. That is why the FX network chose to place their ad for "The X Show" in Sports Illustrated. The show itself was created for a male audience, so what better place to advertise than a man's magazine. In this ad, the advertiser uses the power that beautiful women have over ...

- 207: The Growing Need For The Aware
- ... upset a lot of people. Another example of a more public ignorance is the name of the Washington DC pro-football team the Redskins (The Washington Post). There are other examples in public schools, other sports teams and even restaurant names. This name is very upsetting to many people and especially to Native Americans. There are many protests that urge the capitol to change the mascot, but still is left unchanged ... implication of negative connotations can be considered a hate crime, which is a serious offense. Political correctness should be used as many places as possible, and it should be enforced in businesses, schools, universities, firms, sports as well as sports.

In these kinds of atmospheres it is pertinent and substantive to be politically correct because if one uses a word that is considered to be ...
- 208: What Are You Watching
- ... acceptable and which are not. Critics argue that many shows such as cartoons and even the news could potentially be classified as "violent" and be blocked (V-Chip). In response to this argument, news and sports programs will be exempt from the ratings requirements. This creates its own problems, though. It will be difficult for officials to decide what qualifies as "news" or "sports." Tabloid shows such as Hard Copy, for example, could be labeled as either news or entertainment. Many shows will try to avoid ratings by claiming exemption as either a news or sports show. According to Nathen McDaniel, a professor at Virginia Tech, one of the biggest concerns of V-chip opponents is that it would cause broadcasters to lose money since many advertisers would not pay ...

He did experience things such as writing a novel and visiting other countries. On the other hand he hasn't experienced nature, sports, and leisure activities.

- 210: Gun Control
- ... sell guns? It sure isn't more that 2,000. But what about the other people that would be indirectly affected by gun control? If guns were illegal to own, that would ultimately mean that sports hunting would be outlawed. This would put thousands of game wardens, and employees of the Department of Fish and Game out of work. Taxidermy services would be obsolete, for there would be no animals to provide these services to. Not to mention the environmental impacts. Without sports hunting, game populations would skyrocket. Many would say that they were not that bad before humans, which is true enough. However, because of development, there is not as many habitats for wild game to live on, which causes over population, starvation, and disease, wh ich without sports hunting would cause major declines in animal populations. In short, guns may be a problem in today's overcrowded cities, but it is not the fault of the guns. Eliminating guns would not solve ...
