Introduction

My personal experience back in college as a young adult can be described as wild and care free. I was the captain of my college football team and this made me very popular. I was expected to constantly remain physically fit in order to lead my team to victory and simultaneously achieve good academic performance. However, there was nobody to stop my newly-acquired status as a free individual. I recall the frequent drinking sprees with my friends. These were of course accompanied by cases of rowdiness and restlessness. In other words, I had a high affinity to disrupt the peace. However, I ...

The history of football may be traced back to China in second century B.C. The sport was introduced in England in 1170 and was banned a couple of times between the 1400s and 1600s because it was associated with peasants and was thought to promote violence and immorality (FIFA, 2000).

Book critique: Season of Life by Jeffery Marx

Season of Life appeals to the readers’ understanding of masculinity in so many ways that it is difficult to identify any one aspect of the book as being the most positive influence. Masculinity has to be one of the most stereotyped concepts. This applies all the more to the male dominated sport – football. I appreciated the fact that Jeffery Marx not only challenges the traditional concepts of manliness, but dedicates and entire book to it! What makes this effort all the more laudable is the fact that Marx belongs to the ...

The second model is characterized by mixed financing with a predominance of the state budget. The fact that the mass, children’s and youth sports and recreation movement are largely funded from local budgets is common to both models (Swayne ...

Bill Beane on Evaluation of Players

All major scouts went around the country, looking at high school players and stars, but Bill had noticed that players assigned straight out of high school ...

Even if they have taken different paths of life now, they shame a similar world view and are out to positively transform the lives of the youths.
It was so interesting ...

The source of the advertisement is Christian Ronaldo, who is trying to convince the viewers in the effectiveness of the advertised product. The video uses the peripheral route to persuasion, where the recipient is not expected to engage into profound feature analysis of the product, but can be persuaded by the peripheral factors, such as liking Christian Ronaldo in this case. Therefore, decision-making is based on heuristic, which perceives the advertised message as an “expert advice”, thus not subjecting the advertisement to serious analysis. The method of using celebrities is quite popular due to the fact that they are ...
