London Derby Officiating a game in the English Premier League (EPL) is a hard job for any referees. Indeed, it is harder when it comes to be the biggest derby in London and also between the first place of the league, Chelsea, and the second place, Arsenal. It is known for the EPL to be one of the aggressive and rougher soccer leagues over the world, because of the intense competition between teams. The match ends up with scoreless draw. However, there were controversy cases that the head referee, Michael Oliver, and his assistance referee left for the people to discus about. The first case was after the first quarter hour of the play, when Arsenal’s goalkeeper, Ospina, clattered into Chelsea’s striker, Oscar, on the play, prompting Chelsea
American football in the past several years have really developed, not only from the fans perspective but also from the players and the official heads. Safety is the most important topic talked about in all sports but it is a must in football, especially because of the way the game is played with all of the tackles and hits. It is really important not only for the players to be safe but also the officials to keep it safe. Both players and officials play a key role in making the game of football safe and interesting to watch for the fans and a great experience for the players as well. As said in the Denver Post, players are expected to play with the rules…coaches are expected to teach…and game officials to emphasize the rules. The game of football, in the NFL, is safer than it has ever been because of the rules, penalties and the equipment.
I grew up in the Catholic faith, I’ve always been told to pray to God about anything. Giving thanks, repenting, needing help and just someone to talk to when no one else can. When I was in church school I loved to listen to the priest in mass about short story miracles within our community. Church was my sacred house, the one place I felt safe and connected with God whenever I had family or life issues. However, not all sacred places are safe. The poem “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall made me realize that the safest places on earth can destroyed by hatred. A small sign of situational irony, the title itself is very unique because during the Civil Rights Movement, there was so much change due to racial segregation and discrimination towards people of color. African Americans wanted to be treated equally like the whites, they wanted to have an education, have a house, be able to sit in the front of the bus and drink water from any fountain.

A heated argument amongst fans escalated. Taunting ensued. Insults exchanged. When throwing words proved ineffective, the instigators tried hurling coins.
The tragic poem, “The Ballad of Birmingham,” begins with a young child asking an imploring question to her mother, “May I go downtown instead of out to play” (Randall, 669)?
The new rules to Football are much stricter than they used to be. Some rules that have changed include changes to the Red and Yellow cards, usage of a fourth referee, changing of the ball and cleats, prohibition of physical violence during games, and specific rules and regulations. Before, many people did not play Football with rules, they just played for fun, therefore the invention of the Red and Yellow card greatly advanced the competitive aspect of Football. Along with this, people did not always use the balls and cleats that we’ve used today, they used animal skins stuffed with light-weight materials and regular shoes. Now, professional Football players are required to wear specific kinds of cleats and are required to use footballs that are a certain size and meet the standard requirements. Since many people used to play for fun, there was much violence when it came to who ...

The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is equal at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time or a penalty shootout depending on the format of the competition.
William Blake makes a pointed critique of the society and institutions of the English Government in his poem, "London." Throughout the poem Blake presents an image of man against society. He directly accuses several institutions and society itself of creating the tyranny that is controlling the people of London. He alludes to the struggle of the classes, the upper-class controlling the lower, as being the reason for the problems in London. This conflict of classes is the reason for the oppression and tyranny that the people of London are forced to live under. The upper-class has to control the lower classes by subjugating them and forcing them to live by their rules. Blake writes the poem using a speaker "wandering" through the streets of London and observing what is going on. The speaker himself does not seem to be connected to the society but just someone going through it.
