On the 27th of December 2013 the New Orleans Saints played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Mercedes Benz Superdome. In front of thousands of screaming fans, the Saints claimed victory over the Buccaneers, beating them by twenty-five points. The game was played on the Saint’s field, which gives them the upper hand. But the commenters, who praised almost every play they made, favoured the Saints ever so slightly. The televised event also discriminates with their adverts. Although football has male
The concept of a two-sport or multi-sport athlete enormously filters the list of great athletes throughout history and, if used as a measuring rod, leaves us with the best of all time: Bo Jackson. “Bo Jackson is not known in Spain, despite starring in Bo Knows Nike brand campaign that remains today, the most successful of the multinational” (Williams). “In these famous ads, which have Jackson first playing football and baseball, two sports that are professional, he then tries his luck at basketball

“I'll never forget Opening Day in Cincinnati. When they called my name during introductions and a sellout crowd stood and cheered, I looked into the stands and saw Katie and our two kids, Sierra who's nearly 2, and my 6-year-old stepdaughter, Julia, and my parents and Katie's parents. I had to swallow hard to keep from breaking down right there. They were all crying, but I had to at least try to keep it together”(Tim Keown). This is a reaction that nearly passed by All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton

My Trip to Boston “ Everyone hold onto your seats this is going to be a hell of a ride” (Akeem).
