Every sports community has countless discussions within one another. The one community I will be discussing about will be the basketball community. More specifically, the debate whether the Cleveland Cavilers and the Golden State Warriors are rivalries. This is one of the most talked about topics in a basketball community, it also both fans and non-fans to be involved in this discussion. Some sports critics say that this is one of the greatest rivalries that this game has ever seen, while others take the opposite stance saying that it does not need to be considered as a rivalry. My solution to this problem would be look at this topic from both sides of the argument, using research articles, interview clips and considering some discussions …show more content…

In fact, it has never been better, with the up and coming stars. After the past three World Series, the attendance has gone up, for good reasons. One argument for that would be the fact that the game is just more than something you watch, you follow that team through the whole season, watching it with friends, family making new communities for you to be a part of. Take for instance, the last World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, more than 75 million viewers saw the entire game or just a part of it, the ratings were the highest in twenty-five years. As you can see this argument is saying that baseball is not a boring sport, in fact it is a great …show more content…

To begin, it was about one hundred and eight years since the Cubs won a World Series and sixty-eight years since the Indians won a World Series. No other game in the World Series has come close to the amount of history involved between these two clubs. During this game, many non-baseball fans became baseball fans, therefore game is the best World Series game. The baseball community has a history of not changing its mind but when it does, it usually sends a message to everyone. That message is that we need to reconsider, where the game is placed on the all-time list of great World Series games. This is the argument for case that the past World Series game seven was the best one yet to

Everyone is proud of where they are from naturally, whether it’s in regards to their sports team, schools, or maybe a famous product that originated from there.

    For this assignment I choose to attend a Los Angeles Clippers game even though I am a big Lakers fan; mainly because it better fit into my budget and the appeal of watching this young high flying team made it seem like it was going to be a good night. Going into the game it was being dubbed as the “battle of the double-doubles” as the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Kevin Love and his 28 straight double doubles took on Blake Griffin and his 26 straight double doubles.

    The best college football rivalries intrigue us to a point that we are on the edge of our seats for the entire game, but many people do not know exactly what makes these games so unique. Many rivalries are based off of supremacy in a certain state or in a region. Factors such as trash talking, championship contention, or recruiting implications can play into these games that appear on the schedule every year. There are games in which private schools battle it out against public schools to prove that they have earned the right to go against the public school on the gridiron year in and year out. Sometimes teams play to simply win an oversized, metal stick to keep all year. All of these can contribute to the fans paying their money or tuning in to watch these games in which history is renewed and there is a chance for more history to be made.

    Its America’s pastime. Since 1869, the MLB has been the sweetheart of American sports. A requisite to be a true American is to have a conceptual understanding of baseball; the seventh inning stretch, “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” as well as hotdogs and warm summer nights at the ball park are all favorite memories of American pastime. However, what one might not realize is the extreme physics behind the game. The velocity of the pitch, and degree of the ball exiting the bat, the exit speed, and how an outfielder throws are entailed within the physics of baseball.

Also in 1898 the first base stealing statistics and rules that define a balk appear. By 1900 the first pentagon shaped home plate appears on a baseball diamond.

    As soon as I started high school, my goal was to play college baseball. I played baseball for a very competitive select club that traveled out of town every week from Thursday through Sun as well as practicing every Tuesday and Wednesday. All through high school, I sacrificed my free time in the summer to prepare myself for college baseball. After receiving offers from four year universities as well as junior colleges, I decided that a junior college would provide me the best opportunity to continue to develop as a player. Even though I decided I wanted to play at a junior college, I wanted the experience of going away to college and living in a dorm so I decided to attend a junior college in Iowa where they had dorms for student athletes. Being ecstatic to be able to go off to college and play baseball was short lived. During the first month of baseball practice, I injured my arm, spent two months in physical therapy with no improvement, and then finally receiving the bad news that I would need surgery to improve. Surgery was performed over Thanksgiving break, but I was now faced with months of physical therapy, which meant
