Will the article that I choose has more than one author but they are talking about sports that was in the 1970’s. What happen in that time was that major league change in a big way? But when that are talking about the major league I am thinking about baseball is that so then I would have to agree with them baseball has change from the 1970’s going into the 90’s the way it was played from the 70’s and the rule back then are also different but I do not know much for back then beside that there were not that many people watching the game back then. But now there are a lot more people watching on the TV or there are going to the game to cheer for their team. The author also talk about that the franchise leaders and league that was in the Hall of Fame after the talk with them the researcher found an increase in the interaction among the actors in the field. Another this is that there were the weakness in the pitcher arm. Pitchers displayed weakness in three of four tests by comparison with controls, suggesting that the demands of pitching are insufficient to produce eccentric strength gains and may in fact lead to weakness.

1970s sports

Ok there are some different from the 1970’s era to today’s sport like there are the old fields there where run down and its real grass when not anymore we got turf which is not grass. The field goal is like really close to the goal line in the 1970’s which in my onion is weird but nothing I couldn’t have done about it since I was not born. But now the field goal is behind the out of bonus. And back then the player play the game different then we do today like players on offence can get in a three point stands from a two point and not get call for a false start but now a days we do that here and now it well get called. The padding in the 1970’s was so not covering anything that needs to be protected and there barely had rule back then you could head to head with someone and it will not be called. But not all that has change me have more rules to keep us protect so we won’t get hurt. And if we didn’t change the rules from back then a lot more could have no football career or worse could end there life god forbid and no one wants that’s to happen.

Dallas Nurse Contracts Ebola Virus, Elevating Response and Anxiety

Manny Fernandez

Dallas

New York Times

Oct 12, 2014

1.    How did she get it?

2.    How did it get in Dallas?

3.    How did she know she had it?

4.    Did anyone catch it to?

Well I think it was so he can let everybody know that Ebola made in the US.

That everyone know that bad virus got in the states.

He is implying how the nurse caught the virus when she was wearing protective gear on.

He was proving the fact that Ebola got in the states.

I believe the assumption that was made was how the nurse got the virus with the protective gear and she was only treating one patient at the hospital and it was Mr. Duncan.

A hazardous-materials crew on Sunday cleaned outside the Dallas apartment building of a nurse who was infected with Ebola

Me personal I really don’t really believe what the newspaper say because they might just say all that just so they can have news to tell the people but that’s just me.

1.    I think from Mr. Duncan.

2.    Mr. Duncan brought the virus to Dallas.

3.     Hazardous-materials crew on Sunday cleaned outside the Dallas apartment building of a nurse who was infected with Ebola.

4.    No one got the Ebola virus they got the people out in time.

I can use this as a resource to not go to Dallas any time soon.

Remember the Titans (2)

The movie I have pick is Remember the Titans. This movie was about football but in that time period it was in all white team in the school with white coaches. Until one day the head coach got fired because the team was not winning a game then when the coach told the team they did not want to play with no other coach and was about to quit. But he told them that they are not quitting and they will play with the new head coach who was black. Now since there was a black coach there was a change for black player the came out when he got there but he didn't care what color you was you only play if you earn it. So when he meet with the players the black people was there then the other team came and he talk to them all about camp. Then when it was time for camp the players got on the bus but with there on skin color but the coach told them to get off the bus and mix it up and the person you sit with is your roommate. This movie is really accurate and it’s a true story. I give this movie a 5 star because I like how the movie went about the whole black and white thing and then at a point in the movie is when they start coming together as a team. 

Dream job

My Dream job is one day go to the NFL to play the sport that I love. “Why you ask.” Well it just that when I was little I watch the NFL on TV and I could not take my eyes off the TV I watch every little thing in the game I was watching to every touchdown to every flag. I was so into the game and seeing how much it was in the game I wanted to play it and try to play in the NFL myself one day that dream is still alive. Anyway when it was football season I wanted to try football little league but I had to make my mom ok with the idea of me playing it. After asking over and over she finally said yes and I was happy so on the first day of practice I tried my best but it wasn’t good enough I was tried all the time and didn’t get the plays right it was the worst day of my life at that time. Then I just wanted to give up in my mind but I didn’t I made it through the season didn’t play much but made it. Then as time goes bay I loved football more and more that I couldn’t get enough of it and through me not giving up I am here at SEMO now but I’m going to try to make it in the NFL after my time is up here.

college life

The main reason why I chose to go to SEMO is because of football it didn’t really matter what college I went to. No matter where as long I get the change to go to college and then play the sport I love. So I choose SEMO because they gave me in offer the change my life so I said yes to the offer when the coaches call me on my phone. I always want to go to college when I was little because I wanted to make something of myself so since I was having a little trouble in school just a little I knew right then and there that I had to go to college through football and I was good at it so I did my best in football and in school so I could get recruited for football for me to do that I have to stay on top of my grades and I did. Now I was in the race to pick a college to go to. So now I got to call the coaches that had entrust in me and so I go through all that then I have to wait on them to call me back I got an offer but I was waiting on something better and good thing I did. That’s when I get a call for SEMO and they told me that they were offering me and I told them I will take it and now here I am.

Movie (Remember the Titans)

The movie I will be talking about is Remember the Titans. The movie was about a football team that was only whites on the team and white coaches. Then the Titans was having a losing season and the school had to firer the head coach after the last game they lose. but before he left he told him team that there will be a new head coach how was black and the player told there head coach that they don't want to play for a black coach so they said that they would not play for that coach and he told them that you are playing don't quiz because he was leaving. Then the black coach came with black player waiting on him to come and when he did he didn't care what color you was he would treat you the same as anybody else. As time when by it was time for camp and the head coach told them to get on the bus but he saw the whites went with whites and blacks with blacks and he was not having that so he told them to get off the bus and told them offence on one bus and defense on the other bus. Then camp started and thing was not going so good in the start. Some of the player didn't want to play with the opposite skin. Until two player of the opposite skin start to get alone in time for the season then the team follow them. As the season went on there were doing good all the way to states minus one player who got in a car crash and had to go to the hospital. The movie was based on a true story so it depict sports saying that back then blacks and whites can get alone but it will take some time in the end the became a family. Just like I said its base on a true story so it was accurate throughout the movie.
