Penalties of Avarice It is said that history repeats itself, yet we never learn from it. The tale of greed getting the best of us is one we are all aware of in modern times. People believe more is better, but more always comes with difficulties that cause harm either to us or others. Greed is a trait that all humans share; unfortunately, sometimes we let it take control, and it destroys us. Sepp Blatter, a Swiss sports executive, was a victim of this greed; he performed violations in favor of his own wealth, which would later lead to career ending accusations.

Diving in Soccer Argumentative Essay Joseph Leary writes, “Diving is to create a challenge out of whole cloth, to fall to the ground after no contact at all” (Paste Magazine 1).

The controversy comes when players dive, or flop, when they are defended in order to get the referee to give them a call in their favor.
Overwhelming Greed in the Olympics With millions of dollars at stake hosting the Olympic Games, the bidding to be selected has never seen such a large pool of countries. Big and even small countries alike both have the chance to rake in a bountiful profit by hosting the two-week long sports extravaganza. However, the chance to host the games is being damaged by greed because International Olympic Committee (IOC) members expect bribes, local Olympic Bid Committee members cannot seem to resist the temptation to provide them and in the end the Olympic Games are corrupted. The Olympic Games are an outstanding sporting event that has brought people and countries together since it was reborn in 1896, with what we call the modern Olympic Games.
