440 Words2 Pages

In the National Collegiate Athletic Association wrestling is one of the top five viewed championships in college sports, but how are we supposed to know who we like best when we only get to see them in the playoffs? I believe that there should be more college wrestling on TV.
There should be more wrestling on TV because it’s unfair. There’s NCAA football and basketball on television all the time, so why shouldn’t there be wrestling too? Eighty-three percent of the people I interviewed agreed with me on this subject. That means only 17% of these people disagreed with me, that should be enough to convince people’s minds. They sometimes show reruns of old NBA games when they could fill that slot with a wrestling dual. It just isn’t fair for …show more content…

The sport of wrestling has grown tremendously in the last ten years, but it’s still nothing compared to soccer. Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the world, dating back to 776 B.C. It was done in the early Greek olympics. You would think that with a sport that has been around this long more kids would do it, but sadly that isn’t the case. So sports channels should help the cause.
People that have wrestled for awhile want to keep tabs on their favorite teams. My favorite wrestling school is Oklahoma State University. I like to keep track of how they’re doing, but I would enjoy watching it on TV more than looking the matches up. My favorite wrestler is Chris Perry, but I didn’t learn about him from watching him, I learned about him from a wrestling camp. I would have loved to watch his matches, but by the time I learned about him he had graduated. That made me very angry and I hope that it is on more this year so that I can follow my favorite teams.
Some of you may disagree with me and say that wrestling is on enough or that there is higher demand for other sports. I would respond by saying that if they had put wrestling on more in the past there would be a higher demand for it now. If they just put it on a few more channels I would be

There is an ongoing debate on whether or not NASCAR should be considered a sport. I believe that NASCAR is not a sport for two reasons; it requires very little athleticism, and it is more of a hobby then it is a sport. For these reasons NASCAR should be recognized as a hobby, not as an actual,professional sport. NASCAR requires very little athleticism. The definition of sport is; an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

While some believe that athletes should have their own choice at making a decision to go pro straight out of high school, they should not do so because they will not be able to manage their million dollar contracts respectively. Speaking of contracts, the NBA should eliminate guaranteed contracts for rookies drafted in the first round of the NBA draft. They should do this because a careless high school kid, could just go into the draft not knowing, or caring on how much they are going to make, with the lack of experience on handling millions of dollars. This is very unrepsonsibible for a teenager, and not only for the high school athlete, but also for the basketball association as well. This is because of there noncommitment to have these players

Colleges simply do not have a lot of money, so they can not afford to have sports. However, this writer 's take on the money issue is that, the institution has to find a way to make money, even if that means charging a fee in the tuition. The college has to give every chance they can for the student to be successful. The college gives the theatre student a chance to go on to further their dreams, they should do the same with athletics. Now, this writer knows that it cost more money to build a football field and have equipment for the players than to build a theatre.

Two of these tests directly apply to the current issue. The “consequences test” asks, “Is it likely that any major damages to people or organizations will result from the contemplated action?” The “justice test” asks, “Does the proposed action leave another person or group less well off?” as well as “Is this person or group already a member of a relatively underprivileged class?” If underprivileged class is taken to mean vulnerable class/market segment, which would reflect the spirit and intent of the justice test, it could be argued that the professional wrestling industry performs questionably on both tests.
