O. J. loved the game of football since he was a young child. At the age of 9, he played in his first little league game in his hometown of San Francisco. He continued his football career in high school. Simpson was a standout and in his senior year, he led the city in scoring. Although, to his dismay, despite his power establishing play on the field, his grades weren’t up to par enough to receive college scholarships.

He became their schools top high school quarterback, and that earned him a full scholarship to west Virgina University. His parents were very proud.

The industrial revolution also brought with it a vast increase in the british transportation system, most namely the rail network, this allowed teams to travel around the country and play against many different teams, this also led to an increase in the frequency of matches as because of this transport system leagues were able to be set up. Public schools also had a significant, arguably the most significant, influence on the development of association football.

In my opinion... I think Muhammad Ali is one of the best, if not the best, boxers of all time. He was an influential leader not only inside the ring, but throughout the world.

The war gives Gatsby an opportunity to see the world and earn money in the service. Gatsby did “extraordinarily well in the war. He was a captain before he went to the front, and following the Argonne battles he got his majority and the command of the divisional machine guns” (150).
