Last blog!

For my last blog I decided that I would discuss my experience in this class. Honestly, I really enjoyed myself because I was free to express my opinion on situations without being judged. The class was always so chill and I liked how we had class room discussions almost every class. I found Mr. Mink very helpful when he would revise my papers. I can honestly say that I have become a better writer this semester. I will miss this class a lot.
I registered for this class not knowing it was a sports related class, and once I discovered it was I immediately interested in it. I've learned how to add enough details into my papers so that it will keep the readers attention. I can say that Mr. Mink is one of my best teachers since I've been to Florida State University and I am glad that I got to share this class with a good groups of students.

Mens Basketball.

Basketball season finally kicks off. This is what hundreds of fans have been hyped about during football season. But the mens basketball team has had a rocky start this season. Considering that FSU was the ACC Champion the following year, it is truly a shocker how bad we are playing. I can honestly say that I am disappointed with them this year. An as I can see, this is a rebuilding year for the Mens Basketball team.

I have been following FSU by watching them on TV, but I do plan on attending the game when they play against the number 7 ranked UF on December. Hopefully, by this time the Men will be prepare to beat the Gators! It is unusual for a basketball team to have a bad start and to build and become successful throughout their season (once there comfortable around each other). So I look forward to for the Mens Basketball season to become successful and who knows maybe even win another championship!

FSU football falls short

Every year. we face off aginast our biggest rivals UF in a intense game to determine which University inf Florida is the best. After two years of defeating UF, FSU has fallen short of being victorous this year. The University of Florida came to Doak on a mission to beat the seminoles and sadly they accomplished it. The game started off with the crowd going wild and each time hyped to play one another. For the seminoles our offesne was rocky for majority of the game. With EJ Manueal (the quarterback) throwing 3 interceptions in the first half of the game. I couldn't help but to loose faith in FSU. Clearly UF was playing as if they were the better team regardeless of us having the number one defense in the nation.

Finall it hits half time and the score is 3 to 10 UF up.The teams return for the 3rd quarter hyped and ready to go. FSU starts off the game amazingly. They manged to score two touchdowns back to back giving the FSU fans hope that we might win the game. The score eventually becomes 20-23 FSU. Then something bad happens. EJ gets sacked which put him out of the game for a couple of minutes, Those couple of minutes were the turning point of the game. The second string quarterback manged to give UF the ball and they ran in for a touchdown. The mood of the FSU section totally shifted to disapointment and sad.

EJ finally returns and the seminoles are down. UF managed to score another touchdown on us in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter UF scored a total of 24 points which pretty much gave them the victory. Although our defense gave up 24 points. EJ managed to score a ending touchdown in the last remaining seconds of the game. Although the seminoles lost, they have other things to worry about  the upcoming Championship game.

Thanksgiving sport

Each thanksgiving the men go in the back to play a game of basketball. Usually the older men think they can keep up with the younger boys. So usually it is pretty funny to watch. They play touch football with 4 on each team. Usually they divide it eventually so its not unfair with only the younger guys on one side.

So the game starts off with arguing about how the older men can keep up with the "babies". They just talk straight shit to one another until one side scores. Thats when the game starts to get intense. They almost start to play tackle football and usually someone hurts their back or leg. I always enjoy watching them play and wish I was able to join in. Sports is a huge part of my family and it is a tradition that they play every year.

Thanksgiving memory/story

My most memorable thanksgiving would have to be last years. The reason why it was so memorable is because I had all of my close family memories gathered at my mothers house. Some members of my family I haven't seen in years so it was exciting to see them. My favorite part of thanksgiving is hands down the food. That year my mom cooked ham, turkey, mac and cheese, greens, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and etc. I had at least three plates before I visited other peoples house.

Next I went to my best friends house for thanksgiving. It was nice to see how she does things to celebrate the holiday. In my opinion it was totally different because her mother didn't cook the same way as mine. An it was also excited to try new things that I wasn't use to eating on thanksgiving. All-in-all thanksgiving last year was one of the most memorable thanksgiving because I got to share the holidays with two different families that I cared about and I won't forget about it for the rest of my life.

The AD I am creating a opposition for is about Alyson Felix holding the American Flag while jumping in the air. This is a symbol that women in sports is starting to take over. But honestly who cares, when half of America believe that men run things in the world anyways. Men bring in more revenue, bigger audiences, and are much stronger and faster.

I do agree that women are starting to hold a strong position and are becoming more popular in sports. This is bringing young ladies to watch women track and field, volleyball, basketball and etc which in many cases is bring more revenue and crowd to the sports industry. Although women will probably never out do men in sports because they always seem to outdo women in almost everything athletic wise. Both athletes (male and female)  are arguable  both role models to kids and should be looked up upon for their extraordinary talents.

The way in which I could include a political view into my adbuster is by talking about unequal pay for women and men. In many cases, Women generally get paid less which isn't fair. It is said that the reason why Male athletes get paid more than women athlete is because of the amount of revenue generated by the males. Male sports bring in more ratings on television which in turn brings bigger sponsors which are willing to spend more of their money to endorse the team. Also it is said that women lack pay because they aren't as physically good as men in sports. Which is true because there is no women running times like Usain Bolt. This isn't fair to women athletes and in my opinion should be addressed and both male and females should have equal pay.
