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.

World Of Sport

In the world of sports that activity that I am most involved in right now is the Florida State University football games. I strongly support the football team here and watch the away and home games. I stand by my teams side no matter what the outcome may be. For example when we had lost to NC State I was disappointed, but I didn't let that get in the way of my expectations for them. Currently FSU is ranked in the top ten which is decent at least. Also there is a big upcoming game coming up against UF which I will be attending.

I am also starting to engage with the Mens basketball games. I am aware that we lost the first home game against South Alabama. And the other game was against Buffalo on 11/12/2012. I am not completely engaged in FSU basketball just yet but it is begging to catch my attention as the season is starting. I support both the Mens football and basketball teams and I look forward to future games to attend throughout my college experience.

For my adjbuster, I will be talking about a powerful Africian American Athlete that has the world on her shoulders. I will have the wings because she is flying and has power due to her being fast. I will be talking about how she has shifted peoples opinion on women being fast and how it has affected our views on women's dominance.

Adbuster

For my adbuster I want to use a track and field picture. I have considered using two pictures, one is of Alyson Felix kneeling down with her on the blocks. I picked this one because it reminds me of my high school career. It is such a powerful picture because it also includes her highlighter nike spikes on. She is wearing the U.S track and Field uniform for the 2012 Olympics.

The other picture is of Alyson Felix striding in the air with the U.S.A uniform for nike. For the motto I want to it related to the brand nike and her being a professional althea. I am not exactly sure what I am going to add to this picture yet. But I do want it related to her having the ring on her finger and being a dominate figure in the 2012 olympics.
